The U.S. bond market follows SIFMA holiday recommendations, which generally align with stock market closures but include additional holidays (Columbus Day, Veterans Day) when equities remain open. Early close times for bonds are typically 2:00 p.m. ET per SIFMA guidance, but the exact time can vary by date. Check SIFMA's official calendar for specific days.

Yes. After-hours trading runs from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET through most brokers. However, liquidity is lower, spreads are wider, and not all order types are available.

Orders submitted while the regular market is closed may be queued for the next regular session, routed to an eligible extended-hours session, rejected, or held according to your broker's rules. The outcome depends on the order type, time-in-force, and whether extended-hours trading was selected.
