The U.S. stock market closes early tomorrow (Thursday, July 2, 2026) at 1:00 PM EDT.
This early closure applies to both the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq, ahead of the Independence Day holiday on Friday, July 3, when the stock market will be closed all day.
⏱️ Key Trading Hours for Tomorrow
- Regular Equities Market: Closes at 1:00 PM EDT.
- Eligible Options Trading: Closes at 1:15 PM EDT (for select index-based options).
- Bond Market (SIFMA): Closes early at 2:00 PM EDT.
Because the crucial federal Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) employment report drops at 8:30 AM EDT tomorrow right before this shortened session, expect highly volatile and thin liquidity conditions before the closing bell.
If you want, I can help you plan your portfolio risk ahead of the long weekend if you would like me to:
- Provide the exact timing for tomorrow's Nonfarm Payrolls release
