Stock markets stay open for Columbus Day
Original: The stock market makes an exception for Columbus Day

The anomaly draws periodic attention each October, with some questioning why equities trade while bond markets and public institutions take the day off. Critics have long argued the holiday schedule is outdated and inconsistent with other federal observances.
