Stock markets stay open for Columbus Day
Original: The stock market makes an exception for Columbus Day
US stock markets remain open on Columbus Day, bucking the federal holiday closure that shuts banks and government offices. 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 Critics have long argued the holiday schedule is outdated and inconsistent with other federal observances.
Why now: The federal holiday prompts recurring debate over why equity markets trade when most institutions close.
