The US stock market is open on Christmas Eve but operates with limited hours. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) closes at 1 p.m. EST, while NASDAQ follows a similar schedule. Over-the-counter trading and the U.S. bond market also close at 2 p.m. EST.
International markets have varying schedules. The London Stock Exchange closes at 12:30 pm local time, while EuroNext Paris closes its markets by 3:55 pm CET. In contrast, Hong Kong operates from 9 a.m. to noon Hong Kong Time, and the Shanghai and Tokyo Stock Exchanges remain open for normal hours.
It’s essential for investors making last-minute trades before Christmas Eve to be aware of these limited trading hours and plan accordingly.
