Why is the NYSE not observing new years day 2022?
The U.S. equity markets will not be commemorating the start of 2022 with a holiday thanks to an obscure piece of New York Stock Exchange officialdon. Officially, this is known as Rule 7.2. It states,Rule 7.2. Holidays The Exchange will not be open for business on New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. When a holiday observed by the Exchange falls on a Saturday, the Exchange will not be open for business on the preceding Friday and when any holiday observed by the Exchange falls on a Sunday, the Exchange will not be open for business on the succeeding Monday, unless unusual business conditions exist, such as the ending of a monthly or yearly accounting period.Hence, the markets are open on New Years Eve, and you will be working. Sorry.
