Juneteenth Market Holiday: U.S. stock market is closed on Monday, June 20
Hello, mooers.U.S. stock and bond markets will be closed on Monday, June 20, in observance of the Juneteenth holiday for the first time.
Juneteenth National Independence Day officially became a federal holiday last July when President Joe Biden signed the legislation into law. The stock market will be closed on Monday, June 20, albeit the holiday technically fell on Sunday, June 19.
Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S. It was on that date in 1865 that Union Gen. Gordon Granger read the Emancipation Proclamation to the people of Galveston, Texas.
Stock exchanges remained open for the holiday last year, as the legislation was signed too late for them to amend their holiday schedules.
As we are halfway through 2022, there are only four upcoming holidays: Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. The subsequent incoming holiday closure would be Independence Day on Monday, July 4.

datoldcat : Can we get the government to make Passover a federal Holiday also? What about a federal Holiday commemorating the total lack of representation for anyone or anything good in the country! Dumbecrats have splintered this nation into small groups of special interest all fighting for their own profit. A house divided can not stand! America as a nation and the ideals that created it are long over- a sad story!
Moomoo News GlobalOP datoldcat: Each of you a bordered country,
Delicate and strangely made proud,
Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.
Your armed struggles for profit
Have left collars of waste upon
My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.
Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
If you will study war no more.
Come, clad in peace and I will sing the songs
The Creator gave to me when I
And the tree and stone were one.
