Easter Monday, aka the day after Easter, falls on April 22 this year. Although Easter is a widely observed holiday — albeit not one observed by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management — it always falls on a Sunday, when most banks are typically closed anyway.

But does anything close for the following Monday, which is a day of the week when banks are typically open anyway?

Is the Stock Market Open on Easter Monday?

Unlike banks, U.S. stock markets don’t rely on the Federal Reserve Bank nor observe the same holidays. Days the stock markets are closed are referred to as trading holidays, and might be recognized by Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange and SIFMA.

Good news for traders: Stock markets are open on Easter Monday, unlike Good Friday when they’ll be closed.
