Markets Closed for Juneteenth, Dragon Boat Festival

US stock markets are closed Friday for Juneteenth, stretching into an extended weekend. Trading resumes Monday.

Markets in China and Hong Kong are shut Friday for the Dragon Boat Festival, and Taiwan’s exchange is also closed. All three reopen at the start of next week.

Thursday’s session finished higher, capping a week that included two policy events. The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged, as expected. Washington and Tehran signed a preliminary agreement. Both developments supported equity gains through the close.

The synchronized holiday pause across the US and two of Asia’s largest markets means no anchor session until Monday. Index and ETF options follow the equity calendar and are also dark. Cash forex and crypto markets continue to trade through the weekend.

Any macro headlines between Friday’s close and Monday’s open – a data release, a geopolitical shift, a corporate surprise – will be absorbed at the first available tick. No major US economic releases are scheduled Monday. Housing starts and existing home sales are due Tuesday.
