The Friday before Memorial Day
The stock market keeps normal hours on the Friday before Memorial Day. The bond market usually closes early that afternoon, so Treasury trading thins out before stocks do.
Planning around the long weekend
Anything that settles on a business day, such as a stock sale or a transfer to your bank, skips Memorial Day. A sale on the Friday before settles one business day later, on Tuesday.
