So yeah, the stock market was closed on January 9 last year for Jimmy Carter's funeral - if you were wondering is the market closed that day, the answer was yes. Both NYSE and Nasdaq shut down as a National Day of Mourning. Pretty rare thing actually. Happens when a former US president passes, like they did back in 2018 for George H.W. Bush and 2004 for Reagan. It's kind of Wall Street's way of paying respects during something significant. Carter made it to 100 before he passed, which is honestly remarkable. For traders it meant no action that day - one of those unexpected pauses in the market. Historically this closure was the first one since 2018, so it had been a minute. If you're asking is the market closed today on any random date, obviously depends on what day you're checking, but yeah that particular January date last year was definitely one of them. Kinda makes you think about how even the financial world stops for moments like that.
