Even if the U.S. Stock Exchange is formally open, holiday weeks are often accompanied by reduced activity. Therefore, when planning trading in 2026, it is recommended to take into account not only a specific date, but also the entire NASDAQ trading calendar.
Also, if the exchange is open, the trading time for a trader from Moscow varies depending on the transition of the United States to daylight saving time. Therefore, before the trading day, it is useful to check not only the holiday calendar, but also what time the US market opens in Moscow.
