Just realized the stock market closed june 19th for Juneteenth—honestly didn't know this was a federal holiday until recently. Apparently it's been celebrated forever, but only officially recognized since 2021. Wild that it took this long.
So if you're trading, heads up: NYSE, Nasdaq, all the major exchanges are shut down that day. Bonds too. Last time I checked, the market reopens Friday morning at 9:30 ET for what they're calling a holiday-shortened week. Caught me off guard because I wasn't paying attention to the calendar.
The whole thing commemorates when Union soldiers brought news to Texas in 1865 that slavery had ended. Heavy history behind it. Apparently there are virtual events and festivals happening if you want to actually learn about the significance instead of just treating it as a random day off. The Juneteenth Foundation does stuff every year. Anyway, just marking it down so I don't accidentally try to place trades when the stock market closed on that date. You probably should too if you're actively trading.
