Updated
Euronext, which operates the stock exchanges in Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, Dublin and Oslo, is closed on Friday, January 1, 2027 for New Year’s Day. No cash equity, ETF or derivatives trading takes place on any Euronext market that day, and orders placed will queue for the next open session. Full schedule and background: Euronext holiday calendar.
Because January 1, 2027 falls on a Friday, it creates a long weekend for European investors, with markets reopening on Monday, January 4, 2027. Anyone expecting a trade to settle or a dividend to post on New Year’s Day should expect it to roll to the next business day instead.

Is the market open the day before and after?
The last trading day before the holiday is Thursday, December 31, 2026, which is New Year’s Eve. Euronext typically runs a shortened trading day on New Year’s Eve, closing early at 2:05 pm CET rather than the usual 5:30 pm close. Regular full-day trading resumes on Monday, January 4, 2027, under Euronext’s standard hours of 9:00 am to 5:30 pm CET/CEST.
Why do markets close for New Year’s Day?
New Year’s Day is a public holiday across every country where Euronext operates, including France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Ireland and Norway. Exchanges close in line with national bank holidays, both to give staff the day off and because clearing, settlement and banking systems that support trading are themselves shut.
Euronext has followed a harmonised holiday calendar across its merged markets since consolidating operations, meaning all its national exchanges close together rather than each observing separate local holidays.
What It Means for Your Money
If you place an order with a European broker on January 1, 2027, it will simply wait in the queue and execute when trading resumes on January 4. Trades that do execute on December 31 will settle one business day later under the standard T+1 settlement cycle, so a trade on New Year’s Eve settles on the next open trading day rather than on the holiday itself.
Dividend payments and options expiries scheduled for January 1 are automatically shifted to the next business day by clearing houses. Bank transfers initiated through European banks may also be delayed, since many banks close for the public holiday alongside the exchange. Cryptocurrency markets are unaffected, as they trade around the clock regardless of stock exchange holidays.
