US stock market takes a Thanksgiving break

Business Nov 27, 2025

The US stock market is closed today, November 27, for Thanksgiving.
That means no trading on the NYSE, Nasdaq, or bond markets—everything's on pause as per the official holiday schedule.

Why does this matter?

With all trading halted, anyone hoping to buy or sell stocks or ETFs will have to wait.
This can generally affect market strategies and lower liquidity for the day.
Markets reopen Friday with a shorter session, wrapping up early for Black Friday.

Quick catch-up: Markets were buzzing before the break

Right before shutting down for the holiday, stocks were on a four-day winning streak.
The Dow jumped 315 points, S&P 500 rose nearly 47 points, and Nasdaq added 189—mostly thanks to tech stocks rallying on hopes that the Fed might cut interest rates in December.
