Is the Stock Market Closed on Good Friday 2025? Here's What You Need to Know
Hey everyone, let’s talk about something that often flies under the radar—Good Friday and how it affects our daily lives, especially if you’re someone who keeps an eye on the stock market or just wants to know what’s open and what’s not. So here’s the deal with Good Friday 2025 , which falls on Friday, April 18 .
Now, if you’re planning to trade stocks or monitor your investments that day, take note: both the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange will be closed in observance of the holiday. That’s right, Wall Street takes a pause for this solemn Christian observance, which marks the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. While not a federal holiday, Good Friday still holds enough weight that major financial markets shut down for the day. So if you had plans to buy, sell, or make any portfolio moves—save it for Monday, April 21, when trading resumes.

But here’s a heads-up: the U.S. bond market will close early the day before , at 2 p.m. ET on Thursday, April 17, and will remain closed all of Friday as well. That’s confirmed by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. So basically, it’s a quiet end to the week in the world of finance.
As for what comes next on the calendar? The next big market closure after Good Friday is Memorial Day , on Monday, May 26. So between April 21 and then, it’s business as usual.
Now, if you’re wondering about other everyday essentials—banks, post offices, delivery services—they mostly stay open. That means most major banks like Chase, Wells Fargo, and Capital One will operate normally. The same goes for FedEx, UPS , and the U.S. Postal Service . Deliveries will be made, and mail will go out just like any other day. Schools and supermarkets are also likely to remain open, depending on local preferences and observances.
And in the middle of all this, the New York International Auto Show is happening too—yes, even on Good Friday! If you’re into classic cars, new EVs, or just want to stroll around some beautiful vehicles, this could be a fun family outing or solo adventure. It’s a reminder that while Good Friday is a day of reflection for many, life still hums along in its own rhythm in the U.S.
So whether you’re observing the spiritual side of the day, planning a quiet break, or keeping tabs on your stocks and errands— Good Friday 2025 brings a little bit of everything.
Stay informed, plan ahead, and enjoy your weekend however you choose to spend it.
