<h2 id="stock-market-holidays-in-2026-and-2027">Stock market holidays in 2026 and 2027</h2>
<p>The dates below are the ones the New York Stock Exchange <a href="https://www.nyse.com/markets/hours-calendars" rel="noopener">lists</a> for 2026 and 2027.</p>

<h2 id="days-the-market-closes-early">Days the market closes early</h2>
<p>On an early close day the market is open but the session ends at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time, three hours before the usual end of the core trading session, which the New York Stock Exchange <a href="https://www.nyse.com/markets/hours-calendars" rel="noopener">gives</a> as 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The same page lists these early closes, with eligible options closing at 1:15 p.m.:</p>
<div class="table-wrap"><table><thead><tr><th scope="col">Date</th><th scope="col">Reason</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td data-label="Date">Friday, November 27, 2026</td><td data-label="Reason">Day after Thanksgiving</td></tr><tr><td data-label="Date">Thursday, December 24, 2026</td><td data-label="Reason">Day before Christmas Day</td></tr><tr><td data-label="Date">Friday, November 26, 2027</td><td data-label="Reason">Day after Thanksgiving</td></tr></tbody></table></div>
<p>On each of those days the late trading sessions on NYSE American Equities, NYSE Arca Equities, NYSE National and NYSE Texas close at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, the exchange says. Nasdaq <a href="https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/trader.aspx?id=calendar" rel="noopener">lists</a> November 27, 2026, and December 24, 2026, as early closes at 1:00 p.m. and says it will continue to send alerts to notify customers of days when the market will close early.

<p>The New York Stock Exchange <a href="https://www.nyse.com/markets/hours-calendars" rel="noopener">calendar</a> runs through 2028, when it lists nine holidays instead of 10. The exchange says that because January 1, 2028, falls on a Saturday, no New Year&#39;s Day holiday is observed.</p>
<div class="table-wrap"><table><thead><tr><th scope="col">Holiday</th><th scope="col">2028</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td data-label="Holiday">Martin Luther King, Jr. Day</td><td data-label="2028">Monday, January 17</td></tr><tr><td data-label="Holiday">Washington&#39;s Birthday</td><td data-label="2028">Monday, February 21</td></tr><tr><td data-label="Holiday">Good Friday</td><td data-label="2028">Friday, April 14</td></tr><tr><td data-label="Holiday">Memorial Day</td><td data-label="2028">Monday, May 29</td></tr><tr><td data-label="Holiday">Juneteenth National Independence Day</td><td data-label="2028">Monday, June 19</td></tr><tr><td data-label="Holiday">Independence Day</td><td data-label="2028">Tuesday, July 4</td></tr><tr><td data-label="Holiday">Labor Day</td><td data-label="2028">Monday, September 4</td></tr><tr><td data-label="Holiday">Thanksgiving Day</td><td data-label="2028">Thursday, November 23</td></tr><tr><td data-label="Holiday">Christmas Day</td><td data-label="2028">Monday, December 25</td></tr></tbody></table></div>
<p>The exchange lists two early closes at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time in 2028: Monday, July 3, and Friday, November 24, the day after Thanksgiving.</p>
<h2 id="bond-market-holidays-that-are-not-stock-market-holidays">Bond market holidays that are not stock market holidays</h2>
<p>The bond market follows a different calendar. SIFMA, which <a href="https://www.sifma.org/resources/general/holiday-schedule/" rel="noopener">recommends</a> a holiday schedule for financial markets in the United States, lists full closes on Columbus Day, Monday, October 12, 2026, and Veterans Day, Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Neither day is on the New York Stock Exchange <a href="https://www.nyse.com/markets/hours-calendars" rel="noopener">list</a> and Nasdaq&#39;s 2026 <a href="https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/trader.aspx?id=calendar" rel="noopener">schedule</a> does not list either one as closed. A separate page lists <a href="/culture/what-are-the-federal-holidays/">the federal holidays</a>.</p>
<p>SIFMA also recommends early closes at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on Friday, November 27, 2026, on Thursday, December 24, 2026, and on Thursday, December 31, 2026. It says its recommendations apply to trading in U.S. dollar-denominated government securities, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, corporate bonds and municipal bonds, among other instruments.</p>

The key facts at the top state the euro, the pound, the yen, the Canadian dollar and the Mexican peso in a sentence.</p>
<h2 id="reading-the-rates">Reading the rates</h2>
<p>The Federal Reserve quotes most currencies in units per U.S. dollar, so a yen rate of 150 means one dollar bought 150 yen. A few, marked with an asterisk in the release, are quoted in U.S. dollars per unit, so a euro rate of 1.10 means one euro was worth $1.10.

<h2 id="what-the-comparison-means">What the comparison means</h2>
<p>Treasury describes its yield curve as one that relates the yield on a security to its time to maturity. This page calls a pair inverted when the shorter maturity has the higher yield. The key facts give the gap in percentage points, so a reader can see how close the pair is as well as which way it points.</p>
<h2 id="where-the-numbers-come-from">Where the numbers come from</h2>
<p>Treasury estimates its par yield curve each day from indicative, bid-side price quotations on the most recently auctioned securities, obtained by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at or near 3:30 p.m. each trading day. It reads the yields for fixed maturities from that curve.</p>
<h2 id="when-it-updates">When it updates</h2>
<p>Treasury publishes a curve for each trading day, and this page reads Treasury&#39;s file every few hours and updates at the same address. <a href="/markets/what-is-the-10-year-treasury-yield-today/">What is the 10-year Treasury yield today?</a> shows the 10-year yield over the last 10 business days.</p>

<p>Treasury lists two rates for each bill. The bank discount rate is the rate at which a bill is quoted in the secondary market, based on the par value, the amount of the discount and a 360-day year. The coupon equivalent, also called the bond equivalent or the investment yield, is based on the purchase price, the discount and a 365- or 366-day year. Treasury says the coupon equivalent can be used to compare a bill with a note or bond that pays interest twice a year.</p>

<description>The 10-year Treasury par yield for the latest business day from the Treasury Department, with the change from the prior day and the 2-year and 30-year.</description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ul><li>The 10-year Treasury par yield was 4.98% on Nov 10, 2026, up 0.10 points from the prior business day.</li><li>On the same day the 2-year yield was 4.73% and the 30-year yield was 5.35%.</li><li>On Oct 28, 2026, the earliest day in the table, the 10-year yield was 5.05%, 0.07 points above the latest day&#39;s yield.</li><li>Treasury estimates these par yields daily from bid-side market quotations taken at or near 3:30 p.m. each trading day.</li></ul><p>The table shows the 10-year Treasury yield for the last 10 business days, newest first, from the Treasury Department&#39;s Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve Rates. The key facts at the top state the latest day in a sentence, and the line under them shows the date of the last data.</p>
<h2 id="what-the-yield-is">What the yield is</h2>
<p>Treasury calls these par yields and says they are commonly referred to as Constant Maturity Treasury rates, or CMTs. It reads them from a curve it estimates each day, which gives a yield for a 10-year maturity even if no outstanding security has exactly 10 years left to run.</p>
<h2 id="where-the-numbers-come-from">Where the numbers come from</h2>
<p>Treasury says the curve is built from indicative, bid-side price quotations, not actual trades, which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York obtains at or near 3:30 p.m. each trading day.</p>
<h2 id="how-to-read-the-changes">How to read the changes</h2>
<p>The changes are in percentage points. A move from 4.00% to 4.10% is a rise of 0.10 points.</p>

<description>The Fed&#39;s current federal funds target range and its recent changes, with the latest effective federal funds rate from the H.15 release.</description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ul><li>The Federal Reserve&#39;s target range for the federal funds rate is 3.75% to 4.00%, the level listed for its most recent change, dated Sep 17, 2026.</li><li>That change was an increase of 25 basis points.</li><li>The effective federal funds rate was 3.88% on Nov 9, 2026, according to the Fed&#39;s H.15 release.</li><li>The Fed posts the H.15 release, which carries the effective rate, Monday through Friday at 4:15 p.m., except on holidays.</li></ul><p>The key facts at the top give the Federal Reserve&#39;s current target range for the federal funds rate and the latest effective rate. The table lists the most recent changes to the target range, newest first, as the Fed lists them on its open market operations page.</p>
<h2 id="two-numbers-with-the-same-name">Two numbers with the same name</h2>
<p>The Fed describes the federal funds rate as the interest rate at which depository institutions lend reserve balances to other depository institutions overnight. Its Federal Open Market Committee sets a target range for that rate. The effective federal funds rate is a measure of the rates actually paid: since March 1, 2016, the Fed has calculated it as a volume-weighted median of transaction-level data that depository institutions report to it.</p>
<h2 id="how-to-read-the-table">How to read the table</h2>
<p>The Fed states each change in basis points; this page shows it in percentage points, so a change of 25 basis points appears as 0.25.</p>
<h2 id="when-it-updates">When it updates</h2>
<p>The target range changes when the committee decides to change it. The effective rate is published in the Fed&#39;s H.15 release, which is posted Monday through Friday at 4:15 p.m. except on holidays. This page reads both Fed pages every few hours and updates at the same address.</p>

<p>The report covers the third quarter of Nvidia&#39;s fiscal year 2027, which ended on October 25, 2026. Nvidia&#39;s fiscal year runs ahead of the calendar, which is why a quarter that ended in October 2026 belongs to fiscal 2027.</p>

<description>The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate from the weekly Freddie Mac survey, with the 15-year rate, the change from last week and a year ago.</description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ul><li>The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 7.18% for the week of Nov 5, 2026, down 0.06 points from the prior week.</li><li>The average 15-year fixed mortgage rate was 6.57% for the week of Nov 5, 2026, down 0.03 points from the prior week.</li><li>A year earlier the 30-year average was 6.22%, so today&#39;s rate is 0.96 points higher.</li><li>Freddie Mac publishes this survey once a week, usually on Thursday.</li></ul><p>The table above shows the weekly national averages from Freddie Mac&#39;s Primary Mortgage Market Survey, newest week first. The key facts at the top state the latest week in a sentence, and the line under them shows the date of the last data.</p>
<h2 id="what-the-survey-measures">What the survey measures</h2>
<p>Freddie Mac says the survey is based on applications that lenders across the country submit to it when a borrower applies for a mortgage. The result is a national average, so the rate a particular borrower is offered will differ with the lender, the loan and the borrower&#39;s credit.</p>
<h2 id="how-to-read-the-changes">How to read the changes</h2>
<p>The changes are given in percentage points, not in percent. A move from 7.24% to 7.18% is a change of 0.06 points. The year-ago column compares each week with the same week one year earlier.</p>
<h2 id="when-it-updates">When it updates</h2>
<p>Freddie Mac publishes the survey once a week, usually on Thursday. Its <a href="https://www.freddiemac.com/pmms/docs/PMMS_Publication_Calendar.pdf" rel="noopener">publication calendar</a> lists each release date, including the weeks when a holiday moves the release. This page is updated at the same address after each release.</p>
<h2 id="do-not-mix-surveys">Do not mix surveys</h2>
<p>Other publishers track mortgage rates with their own methods and report different numbers for the same week. Every figure on this page comes from the Freddie Mac survey, so the weeks can be compared with each other but not with a rate quoted from another survey.</p>
<p>This page reports published averages and is not financial advice.</p>]]></content:encoded>
