SUMMARY:Is the Stock Market Open on Day After Thanksgiving 2026? CME Futures Hours
DESCRIPTION:CME Group Futures close early at 12:15 pm local on Friday\, November 27\, 2026 for Day After Thanksgiving (Early Close). \n\nNext holiday\nChristmas Eve (Early Close)\, December 24\, 2026\nRegular hours\n5:00 pm to 4:00 pm CT (Sun-Fri\, with 4:00-5:00 pm daily maintenance break)\n\nFull schedule and background: CME Futures Holidays. \nUpdated September 2\, 2026 \n\n← Previous CME Futures Holidays\nCME Group futures markets have an early close on Friday\, November 27\, 2026\, the day after Thanksgiving\, with trading ending at 12:15 pm local (Chicago) time. This is a scheduled shortened session rather than a full closure\, so most futures contracts trade for a reduced window before the exchange halts for the day. Orders placed after the early close queue for the next full trading session. Full schedule and background: CME Futures Holidays. \nWhich markets are closed on Day After Thanksgiving 2026?\n\n\n\nMarket\nStatus\nNotes\n\n\n\n\nCME Group futures (equity index\, interest rate\, FX\, commodities)\nEarly close\nTrading ends at 12:15 pm local time; regular hours resume the following session\n\n\nNYSE and Nasdaq (US equities)\nEarly close\nWidely observed 1:00 pm ET close\, an hour ahead of the normal 4:00 pm ET finish\n\n\nSIFMA-recommended bond market close\nEarly close\nBond desks typically close early on this day\, though the exact time is not confirmed in this brief\n\n\nOptions markets (Cboe\, equity options)\nEarly close\nGenerally mirrors the equity market’s shortened session\n\n\nLondon Stock Exchange\nOpen (regular hours)\nThanksgiving is not a UK public holiday\n\n\nEuronext\nOpen (regular hours)\nNo European exchange observes the US holiday\n\n\nTokyo Stock Exchange\nOpen (regular hours)\nNot affected by the US holiday calendar\n\n\n\nIs the market open the day before and after?\nThursday\, November 26\, 2026\, Thanksgiving Day itself\, is a full closure across US equity\, bond and futures markets. Friday\, November 27 is the shortened session covered here. The next full trading day is Monday\, November 30\, 2026\, when CME Futures return to their regular hours of 5:00 pm to 4:00 pm CT (Sunday to Friday\, with the usual 4:00 to 5:00 pm daily maintenance break). \nWhy do markets close for Thanksgiving?\nThanksgiving has been observed as a US public holiday since the 19th century\, and American exchanges have long closed for it out of tradition and to allow staff and traders time off. The early close on the following Friday developed as a practical compromise: rather than close entirely\, exchanges shorten the session because trading volumes are historically thin\, with many market participants extending the holiday into a long weekend. \nCME Group and other US exchanges coordinate these shortened sessions with equity markets so that futures\, options and underlying stocks broadly wind down together\, reducing the risk of unusual price moves in illiquid\, low-volume conditions. \nWhat It Means for Your Money\nIf you place a futures order after the 12:15 pm local cutoff on November 27\, 2026\, it will typically queue for the next available session rather than execute immediately. This matters for anyone hedging positions\, rolling contracts\, or managing margin\, since a shortened window can mean less time to react to news. Settlement of trades follows the normal T+1 (trade date plus one business day) cycle\, but the compressed hours can affect same-day execution for retail investors trading index futures\, commodities or currency futures through a broker. Dividend payments and options expiry tied to the underlying stock market are unaffected by the futures schedule itself. Bank transfers and payroll processing in the US may also run on a slightly delayed timetable around the holiday weekend. Cryptocurrency markets\, by contrast\, trade 24/7 and are not affected by any exchange holiday schedule. \nRemaining CME Futures holidays in 2026\n\nChristmas Eve\, December 24\, 2026: Early close at 12:15 pm local\nChristmas Day\, December 25\, 2026: Full closure\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\nIs the stock market open on the day after Thanksgiving 2026?\nYes\, but only for a shortened session. Equity markets typically close at 1:00 pm ET\, an hour earlier than usual. \nIs the bond market open the day after Thanksgiving?\nUS bond markets generally follow an early close on this day\, in line with the reduced trading day observed across other asset classes. \nWhat time do CME futures close on November 27\, 2026?\nCME Group futures close at 12:15 pm local (Chicago) time\, ahead of the normal daily schedule. \nWhen is the next CME Futures holiday after this one?\nThe next scheduled holiday is Christmas Eve\, December 24\, 2026\, another early close\, followed by the full closure on Christmas Day\, December 25\, 2026. \nAre banks open on the day after Thanksgiving?\nMost US banks remain open on this day\, since it is not a federal reserve bank holiday\, though some branches may have reduced hours. \n← Previous CME Futures Holidays
