Are banks open on New Year's Eve? This is a question many folks are asking because in 2022 New Year's Eve fell on a Saturday.
The short answer is yes, banks are open on New Year's Eve. However, because New Year's Day falls on a Sunday in 2023, banks closed on Monday, Jan. 2, 2023, in observance of the holiday.
As for stock market holidays – particularly for those asking "is the stock market open on New Year's" – the stock market is typically open on New Year's Eve, while the bond market closes early. Both markets are usually closed for all of New Year's Day. However, given that these holidays fall on a weekend this year, markets will be closed for trading on Monday, Jan. 2. Bond traders, however, get an extra-long weekend, with bond markets closing early on Friday, Dec. 30, at 2 p.m. Eastern.
