The NYSE also closes early at 1:00 p.m. EST (UTC-5, New York Time) on Nov. 23 and Nov. 24. The Nasdaq is closed Nov. 23 and closes early at 1:00 p.m. (UTC-5, New York Time) on Nov. 24.

Why the early close on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving? Stock trading is usually at half the volume. Also, since 1992, the exchanges have closed early on Black Friday. Black Friday is considered the big kickoff to the holiday shopping season.

We hope you and your family have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
