New York Stock Exchange closes for one day on Jan. 9 in mourning for Carter's death

The New York Stock Exchange will close on the 9th of next month, a day of national mourning in honor of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who passed away on the 29th at the age of 100.

The New York Stock Exchange has issued a notice stating that it will be closed on January 9, 2025, for National Day of Mourning for former President Carter.

Nasdaq also said in a news release that it plans to close in mourning for Carter on Jan. 9 of the new year.

"The exchange will honor Carter's lifetime commitment to his country by closing National Day of Mourning," said Lynn Martin, head of the New York Stock Exchange Group.

Major U.S. stock exchanges have maintained the tradition of closing in mourning on the day of the national funeral of the late U.S. President Abraham Lincoln after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in April 1865.
