Happy New Year, from all your friends at Fortune. As you know, New Year’s Day has fallen on a Thursday for 2026, which means banks, government offices, and postal services will be closed across North America while many retailers, restaurants, and attractions will either modify their schedules or open up completely.
Wall Street is closed for the holiday. The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will not trade on New Year’s Day, and all U.S. bond markets will be shuttered. There will be no pre-market or after-hours sessions. Trading will resume on Friday, January 2, when U.S. exchanges reopen for the first session of 2026.
Discount grocers also split. Aldi and Trader Joe’s will remain closed on New Year’s Day. Convenience stores and pharmacies will generally stay open. CVS Pharmacy and Walgreens locations will be open, though some pharmacy hours may vary by location.
