Direct answer
Why this schedule applies
New Year's Eve is not an NYSE or Nasdaq exchange holiday in 2026. Regular trading therefore runs 9:30 AM–4:00 PM ET.
Bank, bond-market, and government-office holiday calendars do not always match the stock exchange calendar and should be checked separately.
After New Year's Eve, the next regular trading day opens at Jan 4, 9:30 AM ET.
Times follow America/New_York.
