U.S. stock markets will be closed Monday, September 7, in observance of Labor Day, with trading resuming on Tuesday, September 8.
Both the NYSE and Nasdaq observe the federal holiday, leaving investors without access to equities markets for the extended weekend.
Bond markets, guided by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), will also be shut down for the day, giving fixed-income traders an additional day of rest.
Cryptocurrency markets, however, operate around the clock and will not be affected by the Labor Day holiday, continuing to trade as normal through the weekend.
The USPS will suspend all mail pickup, delivery, and branch operations on Monday in observance of the holiday, though online services remain accessible at usps.com.
Customers can still visit usps.com to order stamps and free USPS boxes, or to access services such as changing your address, holding mail, or renting a P.O. box.
FedEx and UPS will not operate standard services on Monday, though both carriers maintain limited options for urgent shipments requiring immediate transport.
FedEx’s premium Custom Critical shipment service will operate as normal, while UPS will continue handling Express Critical shipments despite suspending standard pickup and delivery.
Nearly all banks and credit unions, including Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, M&T, and Santander, will be closed Monday, September 7, reopening Tuesday, September 8.
Most retail stores and restaurants are expected to remain open through the holiday, giving consumers shopping and dining options despite widespread financial and government closures.
Labor Day was established as a federal holiday in 1894, when President Grover Cleveland signed it into law following decades of advocacy from labor activists.
The holiday was created to recognize the contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being, a tradition that has carried forward for well over a century.
