Why is the US Stock Market Open on Columbus Day 2025?
Many traders expected a market closure on Columbus Day 2025. However, the NYSE and Nasdaq continue regular operations while bond markets remain shut, creating confusion among investors about liquidity and volumes.
How Does Columbus Day Affect Trading Volumes? Though equities stay open, trading volumes tend to dip by 15–20% due to the US federal holiday effect. Institutional participation stays low, while retail traders dominate intra-day movements.

Globally, US trading holidays influence liquidity in Asian and European indices. The reduced arbitrage flow during such sessions can create minor volatility spikes across futures markets.
Why Does the US Market Remain Open While Others Close? US exchanges historically differentiate between federal holidays and market holidays. Columbus Day is not a market-observed closure, ensuring continuity for settlement cycles and ETF liquidity.
