Veterans Day honors the service and sacrifice of American veterans.

The federal holiday on November 11 impacts some business operations, including stock market schedules.

Here's what to know about market operations on Veterans Day.

Veterans Day, celebrated on November 11, marks an important day in U.S. history, recognizing the conclusion of World War I and honoring all American veterans for their service, patriotism, and sacrifices for the country. The holiday originated on November 11, 1918, when an armistice between Allied forces and Germany took effect, ending World War I. Today, it serves as a reminder of the bravery and dedication of those who have served in the U.S. military.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs commemorates Veterans Day as a celebration that highlights veterans' devotion, love for their country, and their willingness to serve for the common good. Many businesses and services, including government offices, close in observance of this federal holiday to allow time for reflection and gratitude.

On Veterans Day, the U.S. bond market closes to honor the holiday. However, it’s essential to know that stock exchanges, including the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ, will remain open during regular hours, providing continuity for investors and financial institutions. Futures and options markets also operate without interruptions on this day, ensuring access to financial markets.

Although not every business halts operations, the day reflects an opportunity for Americans to pause and honor those who have served in the military. Public gatherings, events, and local parades may take place across various communities as tributes to veterans and a celebration of their impact.
