How market holidays differ from public holidays
Market closures for United States (NYSE) are close to but not identical to the 2026 public-holiday list. The differences come from weekend observance shifts, early closes (e.g. US stocks closing 1:00 PM the day after Thanksgiving), and exchange-specific half-day sessions.
