---

The New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq will be closed on Friday, April 3, in observance of Good Friday. This date, while not a federal holiday, is widely recognized and leads to closures across several key financial and public service sectors.

In addition to the stock markets, U.S. banks will also be closed on Good Friday. The U.S. Postal Service has also announced that it will not operate on this day, meaning no mail delivery or pickup. Federal Reserve Banks will also be closed.

While some non-essential federal government offices may remain open, the observance of Good Friday impacts trading, banking, and postal services.
