Upcoming US market holidays after Independence Day

After Independence Day, there is a market holiday in September, followed by one in November and another in December.

Here’s a quick overview of the upcoming US stock market holidays

Where did the US market end before the holiday?

Before the long holiday, U.S. stocks rallied on Thursday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite closing at new record highs, driven by a stronger-than-expected jobs report that eased recession concerns and tempered expectations for a near-term Fed rate cut, according to CNBC.

US Jobs Report Beats Forecasts

• Nonfarm payrolls rose by 147,000 in June, beating the 110,000 estimate (Dow Jones) and up from a revised 144,000 in May (BLS).
• Unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, better than the expected 4.3%.

The strong report eased concerns triggered a day earlier by ADP data, which showed a 33,000 decline in private payrolls. It also pushed up Treasury yields and reduced the odds of a Fed rate cut in July. According to CME Group’s FedWatch tool, there’s now a 95% probability the Fed holds rates steady this month.

Other US Stock Market Drivers: Trade and Tax Reform

Markets were also buoyed by optimism around:

• A new U.S.–Vietnam trade deal, with more announcements expected as a tariff pause deadline nears.
• Progress on Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, which cleared the Senate and is headed for final House approval.
