As the new year rapidly approaches, many people find themselves wondering how quickly the past twelve months have flown by. This sentiment feels especially intense as the year-end draws closer too. December, too, seems to pass in the blink of an eye, and before we know it, we’ll be stepping into 2025, just one quarter away from the start of the next financial year.

 

 

Will stock markets be closed on Christmas 2024?

Yes, equity markets will remain closed on December 25, 2024, in observance of Christmas. This often leads to the misconception that New Year’s Day will also be a market holiday, but that’s not the case.

Is January 1, 2025, a stock market holiday?

No, the stock markets will operate as usual on January 1, 2025, despite many people still being in a celebratory mood after ringing in the new year with friends and family. The markets will function normally on this Wednesday.
