SUMMARY:Is the Stock Market Open on Presidents' Day 2027? CME Futures Hours
DESCRIPTION:CME Group Futures close early at 12:00 pm local on Monday\, February 15\, 2027 for Presidents' Day (Equity Futures Halt 12:00 CT). \n\nNext holiday\nGood Friday\, March 26\, 2027\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 October 19\, 2026 \n\n← Previous CME Futures Holidays\nCME Group equity index futures (including E-mini S&P 500\, Nasdaq-100 and Dow futures) go into a scheduled trading halt at 12:00 pm Central Time (1:00 pm ET\, 6:00 pm London time) on Monday\, February 15\, 2027 for Presidents’ Day\, while the underlying NYSE and Nasdaq cash equity markets are fully closed for the day. Orders placed during the halt are held and only process once trading resumes\, and the next full trading session for CME equity futures begins that evening ahead of Tuesday’s cash market open. Full schedule and background: CME Futures Holidays. \nCME has not yet published its final 2027 holiday notice at the time of writing\, so this page uses the exchange’s standard\, long-established pattern: equity index futures trading halts at 12:00 pm CT on US federal holidays that fall on a weekday\, including Presidents’ Day. The date itself\, February 15\, 2027\, is fixed because Presidents’ Day always falls on the third Monday in February. \nWhich markets are closed on Presidents’ Day 2027?\n\n\n\nMarket\nStatus\nNotes\n\n\n\n\nNYSE and Nasdaq (cash equities)\nClosed\nFull-day closure for Presidents’ Day\, confirmed by both exchanges\n\n\nCME equity index futures\nTrading halt from 12:00 pm CT\nE-mini S&P 500\, Nasdaq-100 and Dow futures stop trading at midday; other CME products may follow separate schedules\n\n\nUS bond market (SIFMA)\nTypically closed\nSIFMA has historically recommended a full bond market close for Presidents’ Day; check SIFMA’s official 2027 calendar nearer the date\n\n\nUS options markets\nClosed\nFollow the same holiday schedule as NYSE and Nasdaq\n\n\nLondon Stock Exchange (LSE)\nOpen (regular hours)\nPresidents’ Day is a US-only holiday\, not observed in the UK\n\n\nEuronext\nOpen (regular hours)\nNot an observed holiday in continental Europe\n\n\nTokyo Stock Exchange (TSE)\nOpen (regular hours)\nNot an observed holiday in Japan\n\n\n\nIs the market open the day before and after?\nFriday\, February 12\, 2027 and Tuesday\, February 16\, 2027 both run on normal full-day schedules for NYSE\, Nasdaq and CME futures\, with no early close either side of the holiday. The CME equity futures halt on Presidents’ Day itself is a midday pause rather than a full closure\, so futures trading continues both before 12:00 pm CT that day and again once markets reopen for the overnight session ahead of Tuesday. \nWhy do markets close for Presidents’ Day?\nPresidents’ Day began as a federal holiday honouring George Washington’s birthday and later broadened to recognise US presidents generally. US exchanges and the broader financial industry close on Presidents’ Day because it is one of the standard federal holidays that NYSE\, Nasdaq\, SIFMA and CME all observe each year\, keeping bank\, bond and equity schedules aligned. \nCME extends this to its futures markets by halting equity index futures trading for part of the day rather than closing entirely\, since futures operate on a near-continuous global schedule and many other asset classes (currencies\, commodities) continue trading with only brief interruptions on US holidays. \nWhat It Means for Your Money\nIf you place a stock or options order on Presidents’ Day\, it will simply queue and execute when markets reopen on Tuesday\, February 16\, 2027\, so there is no missed opportunity\, only a delay. Trade settlement\, which in the US runs on a T+1 basis (one business day after the trade)\, is pushed back accordingly for any trades made right before or after the holiday. Dividend payment dates and options expiry calculations that fall near the holiday are adjusted to the next open business day. Bank transfers and payroll processing that rely on the Federal Reserve’s banking system may also be delayed by a day\, since most US banks close for Presidents’ Day. Cryptocurrency markets are unaffected and continue trading 24/7 regardless of the holiday. \nRemaining CME Futures Holidays in 2027\n\nGood Friday: March 26\, 2027 (closed)\nMemorial Day: May 31\, 2027 (equity futures halt 12:00 pm CT)\nJuneteenth: June 18\, 2027 (equity futures halt 12:00 pm CT)\nIndependence Day (observed): July 5\, 2027 (equity futures halt 12:00 pm CT)\nLabor Day: September 6\, 2027 (equity futures halt 12:00 pm CT)\nThanksgiving Day: November 25\, 2027 (equity futures halt 12:00 pm CT)\nDay After Thanksgiving: November 26\, 2027 (early close\, 12:15 pm CT)\nChristmas Day (observed): December 24\, 2027 (closed)\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\nIs the stock market open on Presidents’ Day 2027?\nNo\, the NYSE and Nasdaq are fully closed on Monday\, February 15\, 2027 for Presidents’ Day. \nIs the bond market open on Presidents’ Day 2027?\nThe US bond market has historically closed on Presidents’ Day under SIFMA’s recommended schedule\, though the official 2027 SIFMA calendar should be checked nearer the date for confirmation. \nWhat time do CME equity futures halt on Presidents’ Day?\nCME equity index futures\, such as E-mini S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 contracts\, halt trading at 12:00 pm Central Time (1:00 pm ET). \nWhen is the next market holiday after Presidents’ Day 2027?\nThe next scheduled US market holiday is Good Friday\, March 26\, 2027. \nAre banks open on Presidents’ Day?\nMost US banks follow the Federal Reserve’s holiday schedule and are closed on Presidents’ Day\, so transfers and payments initiated that day are typically processed the next business day. \n← Previous CME Futures Holidays
