Is the Stock Market Open on Black Friday in 2025?
The stock market will be open on Black Friday this year, but be sure to watch the clock because it closes early.
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.
