On Monday, October 13, 2025, many will observe Columbus Day, which is also recognized as Indigenous Peoples’ Day in various communities. While the holiday sees the closure of numerous businesses and services—such as banks and the U.S. Postal Service—certain financial markets will remain active.
Specifically, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) will operate as usual, marking a continuation of its tradition of remaining open during Columbus Day. Investors and traders will be able to engage in stock trading despite the federal holiday.
Similarly, Nasdaq will also be open for business on the same day. With its activities unimpacted by the holiday, Nasdaq will continue to facilitate trading without interruption until Thanksgiving 2025.
However, bond markets will experience a different situation, remaining closed on Columbus Day. This shutdown stems from the bond markets’ affiliation with the U.S. Treasury, which is a federal entity that observes the holiday.
For those looking to participate in stock trading or wanting to stay updated on market activities, the NYSE and Nasdaq will provide ample opportunity, while bond traders will need to await the reopening of those markets after the holiday.
