**Typical 2026 Holiday / Early-Close Schedule (matching common U.S. market holiday practices):**

**Important:** The official 2026 early close announcement for NYSE/Nasdaq hasn’t been publicly released for all holidays yet — dates may change. But historically, early closes often happen the day after Thanksgiving and sometimes Christmas Eve or other holiday eves. ([ir.theice.com][5]
