Thanksgiving 2025 US stock market holiday schedule and trading hour adjustments

Thanksgiving in 2025 is approaching, and as an important legal holiday in the United States, there will be special arrangements for the trading hours of the U.S. stock market during this period. As an investor, I must grasp this information in advance to avoid missing trading opportunities or making unnecessary moves during the holiday.

Thanksgiving Market Closure Hours

According to the latest announcement, the schedule for the U.S. stock market's closure during the Thanksgiving holiday in 2025 is as follows:

• November 27 (Thursday): On Thanksgiving Day, the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ will be closed all day

Investment Advice

During the Thanksgiving holiday, the market usually has lower trading volume and may experience less volatility, but unexpected trends can also occur. Personally, I believe that during this special period, it is best to adopt the following strategies:

1. Plan your trades in advance to avoid rushing to place orders at the last minute before the market closes.
2. Make sure to set a stop-loss level to prevent significant market fluctuations after the holidays.
3. You can use this time to review investment strategies without rushing to enter the market.

During this period, the market may lack liquidity, and even small transactions could cause significant fluctuations. I once rushed to build a position before a holiday, and as a result, the market's lack of liquidity led to execution prices being much higher than expected, which was a painful lesson.

Remember, being patient and waiting is often more important than rushing to enter, especially on such a special trading day.

In addition, other U.S. stock market holidays in 2025 include New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Washington's Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Christmas, which investors should also pay attention to in advance.

Before trading, I always check if it is a regular trading day. This habit has helped me avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles.

Investors in Taiwan who want to trade US stocks can choose overseas brokers or domestic entrusted services, but they need to pay attention to the respective fee structures and trading time limitations.

I hope this information helps everyone make more informed investment decisions during the Thanksgiving holiday!
