The stock exchanges set their own holiday calendar, and Veterans Day isn’t on it. The bond market follows SIFMA’s recommendations instead, which do include Veterans Day, so the two markets split for the day.
Settlement and transfers
Trades placed on Veterans Day still count as that day’s trades, but settlement and bank transfers skip it because the Federal Reserve is closed. Expect cash to move one business day later than usual.
