The stock market reopens today, Friday, December 26, 2025, following a one-day closure on Christmas. After the Christmas holiday, both the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq will resume regular full trading hours, operating from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. Investors will have a short window to participate in the market before the year's end, a period that often includes the Santa Claus rally, where stocks historically tend to rise.
With today being Friday, it is a regular trading day. Investors can expect the market to follow its usual operating hours. The NYSE and Nasdaq both operate from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET on weekdays, which includes Friday. This schedule remains consistent with the typical trading hours outlined for these exchanges.
In addition to the regular trading hours, some exchanges may offer extended trading sessions. For example, the NYSE American Equities, NYSE Arca Equities, NYSE National, and NYSE Texas late trading sessions will close at 5:00 p.m. ET. These extended hours can provide additional opportunities for trading, although these are optional and vary by broker.
This Friday marks an important point in the stock market's calendar. With the holiday season behind us, the market will focus on year-end activities and prepare for the start of a new trading year on January 2, 2026, after the New Year's Day holiday.
