SELECT
    toString(date)                       AS holiday_date,
    formatDateTime(date, '%a')           AS weekday,
    any(name)                            AS holiday,
    any(status)                          AS day_status,
    any(if(status = 'early-close',
           formatDateTime(toTimeZone(close, 'America/New_York'), '%I:%i %p'),
           ''))                          AS early_close_et,
    dateDiff('day', today(), date)       AS days_away
FROM global_markets.stocks_market_holidays
WHERE date >= today()
GROUP BY date
ORDER BY date

Read the table from top to bottom and e also work like countdown. The days_away column measure how far each closure dey from today. The day_status column show whether market no open for the whole day or whether e go close early. One holiday fit take two rows: one full-closure day beside one shortened session. Thanksgiving Thursday and the half-day Friday after am na example.

Wetín happen when holiday fall for weekend?

US exchanges dey observe fixed-date holiday on the nearest weekday. When holiday fall on Saturday, market close on the Friday before. When e fall on Sunday, market close on the Monday after. New Year's Day na exception. When January 1 fall on Saturday, market no close on the Friday before. That Friday, December 31, dey inside the previous year, so no makeup day dey. This nearest-weekday rule na why holiday weekday dey change from year to year for the table above. Na also why some years give traders four-day week around Fourth of July. Floating holidays like Thanksgiving, wey dey fall on the fourth Thursday of November, and Memorial Day, wey dey fall on the last Monday of May, already get fixed weekday, so dem no dey move.

Wetin be the difference between full closure and early close?

The schedule ahead get two kinds of day. Full closure mean say regular session no go hold and no trading go happen at all. Early close, wey be shortened half-day, na regular session wey end at 1 p.m. ET instead of 4:00 p.m. That one mean three and a half hours of regular trading instead of six and a half.

SELECT
    countDistinctIf(date, status = 'closed')      AS full_closures_ahead,
    countDistinctIf(date, status = 'early-close') AS early_closes_ahead,
    countDistinct(date)                           AS total_closures_ahead,
    concat(monthName(min(date)), ' ', toString(toDayOfMonth(min(date))), ', ', toString(toYear(min(date)))) AS next_closure_pretty,
    toString(min(date))                           AS calendar_from,
    toString(max(date))                           AS calendar_through
FROM global_markets.stocks_market_holidays
WHERE date >= today()

The loaded calendar get 10 full-day closures and 2 scheduled early closes, starting from the next one through 2027-07-05. The early closes dey gather around two holidays: the Friday after Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. July 3 also dey among them for years wey e fall on weekday before Independence Day. On early-close day, closing auction still run. E just prints at 1:00 p.m. instead of 4:00 p.m. The after-hours session also shift with am, starting at 1:00 p.m. instead of 4:00 p.m. Premarket window no change because e dey tied to the 9:30 a.m. open, and that one no dey move. Any volume or closing-price calculation wey assume 4:00 p.m. close for one of these days go quietly overstate the day.

How I fit check whether market close on date for past?

The exchange calendar for this warehouse dey look forward. E list only holidays wey never reach and e remove each one immediately after e pass. That keep “wetín dey next” accurate, but e mean say date wey don happen no longer dey inside table. To audit past closure, count the tape instead. Full six-and-a-half-hour session na 390 one-minute bars (6.5 × 60 minutes). Three-and-a-half-hour early close na 210 (3.5 × 60). Full holiday no go print any bar. Weekday wey get zero regular-session bars na, by definition, day wey market shut.

SELECT
    toString(cal.day)                    AS session_date,
    formatDateTime(cal.day, '%a')        AS weekday,
    toUInt32(ifNull(t.bars, 0))          AS regular_session_bars
FROM
(
    SELECT today() - 150 + arrayJoin(range(146)) AS day
) AS cal
LEFT JOIN
(
    SELECT
        toDate(toTimeZone(window_start, 'America/New_York')) AS d,
        count()                                              AS bars
    FROM global_markets.delayed_stocks_minute_aggs
    WHERE ticker = 'SPY'
      AND window_start >= today() - 150
      AND (toHour(toTimeZone(window_start, 'America/New_York')) * 60
           + toMinute(toTimeZone(window_start, 'America/New_York'))) >= 570
      AND (toHour(toTimeZone(window_start, 'America/New_York')) * 60
           + toMinute(toTimeZone(window_start, 'America/New_York'))) < 960
    GROUP BY d
) AS t ON t.d = cal.day
WHERE toDayOfWeek(cal.day) BETWEEN 1 AND 5
  AND cal.day <= today() - 5
  AND ifNull(t.bars, 0) = 0
ORDER BY cal.day

This panel check the last several months of SPY tape and return every weekday wey print 0 regular-session bars, 3 of them. Each one na weekday wey market remain closed. 2026-05-25 na the earliest one still dey inside view. No date hardcode dey anywhere for the query. E derive closures entirely from wetín trade and wetín no trade. So the same SQL go continue to work long after those holidays comot from forward calendar.

    toString(min(d))    AS first_session,
    toString(max(d))    AS last_session
FROM
(
    SELECT toDate(toTimeZone(window_start, 'America/New_York')) AS d
    FROM global_markets.delayed_stocks_minute_aggs
    WHERE ticker = 'SPY'
      AND window_start >= today() - 370
      AND window_start <  today() - 4
      AND (toHour(toTimeZone(window_start, 'America/New_York')) * 60
           + toMinute(toTimeZone(window_start, 'America/New_York'))) >= 570
      AND (toHour(toTimeZone(window_start, 'America/New_York')) * 60
           + toMinute(toTimeZone(window_start, 'America/New_York'))) < 960
    GROUP BY d
)
