U.S. stock markets, including the Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange, will be closed on January 20, 2025.
All government offices will also observe the holiday and remain closed.
The closure is in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., as designated by President Ronald Reagan in 1983.
Stock and bond markets will resume regular trading on January 21.
The U.S. Postal Service and banks will also be closed during this federal holiday.

On January 20, 2025, both U.S. stock markets and government offices will be closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This federal holiday, designated as a national day of service, encourages Americans to participate in community improvement efforts. The holiday was established when President Ronald Reagan signed the King Holiday Bill into law on November 2, 1983, recognizing Dr. King's contributions to civil rights.

The Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange will not operate on this day, resuming trading on January 21. Similarly, the U.S. Postal Service and banks will also be closed, but many restaurants and retail stores are expected to remain open on this holiday.
