What markets are open and closed on Thanksgiving

US on holiday for Thanksgiving but some markets still open

The Thanksgiving holiday is one of the quieter days of the year in financial markets and that extends into Friday, which is a de facto holiday in much of the country that"s now dedicated to rampant consumerism.

At the CME, equity, interest rate and foreign exchange products are closed, along with energy and metals. Products resume trading at 6 pm ET (2300 GMT). On Friday, they close early at 1:45 pm ET (1845 GMT) but trading will be sparse.

The New York Stock Exchange is closed all day today and closes at 1 pm ET on Friday (1800 GMT). Same story at NASDAQ.

In terms of bonds, SIFMA recommends a full close today and a 2 pm ET (1900 GMT) close on Friday.

Here is the full notice from the CME regarding trading on Thanksgiving and Nov 25 (pdf).

The spot forex market never closes for holidays but it will be thin and illiquid today, especially after London goes home. Canadian markets are full open today as well.
