Is the stock market open on Black Friday in 2025? The answer to this question is yes. The stock market will be open Friday, November 28, for the annual shopping event.
However, investors will need to watch the clock closely. This is because the stock market will not be open for regular trading hours, which run from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday. Rather, both the Nasdaq Stock Market and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) will close early, at 1 pm EST, on Black Friday.
Bond traders will have to stick around just a little longer on Friday, November 28, with the bond markets open until 2 pm that day.

Are banks open on Black Friday? The answer to that question is yes. While banks will be closed Thursday, November 27, for Thanksgiving, Black Friday is not a bank holiday in 2025, and so banks will be open.
