As Thanksgiving approaches, the United States gears up for a season of gratitude, family gatherings, and celebrations. For 2024, Thanksgiving Day falls on Thursday, November 28th, with an extended US Bank Holiday on November 28th and 29th, marking the beginning of the festive season.
What Is Thanksgiving Day?
Thanksgiving is a cherished American tradition that traces its origins back to 1621, celebrating the Pilgrims' first successful harvest with the Wampanoag Native Americans. Today, it serves as a time for reflection, family meals, and expressing gratitude for life’s blessings.
Market Impact of Thanksgiving Holidays
During this holiday period, financial markets, including banks and trading activities, experience reduced hours or closures. This can lead to:
. Lower trading volumes: With market participants off for the holiday, liquidity typically decreases.
. Volatility: Thin markets can sometimes lead to erratic price movements.
. Adjusted trading schedules: It's essential to check specific market hours, as some trading platforms may offer limited access during the holidays.
