What is different about Columbus Day
This is the day that confuses people most: banks and the post office close, and SIFMA recommends a full close for US bond markets, but the stock exchanges stay open. Expect thinner volume than a usual Monday. Columbus Day has been a federal holiday since 1937 and has fallen on the second Monday of October since 1971. The Federal Reserve and the bond market follow the federal calendar; NYSE does not, so equity desks work while Treasury trading is shut.
Stocks are open, so BRVX stock perpetuals track a live market all day — and keep trading after the 4:00 p.m. close.
