Monday, April 10, 2023, is Easter Monday, a recognized public holiday for many workers across the US, but is the stock market open today?
This past weekend saw businesses and local government services in the US and beyond close their doors, as many workers came together with their loved ones for the annual Christian celebration of Easter.
And, as those who frequently invest their money will know, many major stock markets took a rare break over the weekend too, because even the financial world needs a rest sometimes.
But as we prepare to say goodbye to the Easter weekend, is the stock market set to open back up today, or will it remain closed on Easter Monday, 2023?
Are the NYSE and Nasdaq markets open on Easter Monday 2023?
Yes, the stock market is open on Easter Monday 2023, with the NYSE and Nasdaq markets set to open their doors today at the usual time of 9:30am EDT.
Both markets were closed on Friday, April 8 for the traditional celebration of Good Friday but the pre-opening, early trading and core sessions will all proceed as usual today.
As always, the core market will be open from 9:30am through to 4pm without a break, from today until the end of the trading week on Friday, April 14.
Though the NYSE and Nasdaq markets don’t often close for holiday celebrations, the Good Friday break is a traditional one and will take place again next year in 2024, at the earlier date of March 29.
Is the London Stock Exchange open today?
Unlike the major US markets, the London Stock Exchange will not be open today while Britain celebrates Easter Monday.

The London Stock Exchange took its first market holiday since January 2 on Good Friday, but with many workers enjoying the end of a four-day weekend, it will not open back up until tomorrow, Tuesday, April 11.
Like the stock exchange, many businesses in the UK are set to keep their doors closed today, with the majority of schools also in recess as the nation collectively tucks into the chocolate eggs they gifted one another yesterday.
The London Stock Exchange will be back up and running from 8am tomorrow, up until 12pm, then from 12:02am until trading closes at 4:30pm.
When are the stock markets closed next?
The NYSE and Nasdaq markets both recognize the same national holidays each year, and in 2023 their markets will be closed, at least partially, on a total of 11 weekdays.
The US markets have already closed for New Years, Martin Luther King Day, President’s Day and Good Friday and the next holiday they close for will be Memorial Day, on Monday, May 29, 2023.
The London Stock Exchange recognizes fewer national holidays than the US markets, but closes for a longer period of time around Christmas and New Years.
The next closure planned for the London Stock Exchange is only three weeks from now, with trading set to cease temporarily for a bank holiday on, Monday, May 1.
