How to use the holiday calendar
Use full closures for planning days when the regular NYSE and Nasdaq stock sessions are not expected to run. Use early-close dates when planning around shortened sessions, end-of-day orders, reporting, or operational coverage.
A holiday date should be interpreted in the exchange timezone first. Users outside the United States should convert both the date and time before setting reminders.
