Is the Stock Market Open Thursday? Key Changes as President Carter is Mourned

Major trading markets and the federal government will take a break Thursday to commemorate the life of former President Jimmy Carter.

Several exchanges will close on Thursday, a national day of mourning for Carter, who died Dec. 29. With the federal government slated to close on Thursday, the Census Bureau and at least one company have rescheduled their releases of data and earnings figures.

Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) will close U.S. equities and options markets on Thursday. Bond trading will close at 2 p.m. ET, according to trade group SIFMA.

Cboe will halt U.S. equities, options and futures exchanges during regular trading hours on Thursday, the Chicago-based network said. Trading in some options and futures will resume at 8:15 p.m. ET on Thursday.

CME Group will keep its U.S. equities market closed on Thursday, while shutting other markets early, including, ending interest rate and real estate sales at 1:15 p.m. ET and U.S. treasuries sales at 2:30 p.m. ET, according to its online schedule.

In response to the federal government’s closure, the Census Bureau released monthly wholesale trading data Wednesday instead of on Thursday, as initially planned.

PriceSmart (PSMT), a wholesale warehouse operator, also moved up its first-quarter earnings release because the Securities and Exchange Commission will be closed Thursday. PriceSmart plans to share earnings results after the market closes Wednesday and host a conference call on the period this Friday, the firm said.
