After a shortened Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off, is the stock market back to normal?
Most of the federal government is still closed. President Donald Trump on Dec. 18 issued an executive order declaring Wednesday, Dec. 24, and Friday, Dec. 26, as federal holidays for this year, shutting down much of the federal government for a five-day weekend. And earlier this year, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that state employees would get two four-day holidays for Christmas and New Year’s.
U.S. trading should open at the normal times today, but some international markets will be closed for Boxing Day.
