The Stock Market Is Closed on July 3, But Trading Volume Is Normal
The stock market is closed tomorrow, but traders aren’t getting out of town early.
Volume across U.S. exchanges was at 8.73 billion shares traded through noon ET on Thursday, which is actually slightly higher than an average day this year at 8.7 billion, according to Dow Jones Market Data. It’s also higher than the average of 8.4 billion shares traded.
When traders smell a long weekend, sometimes that can spark slow days on Wall Street. Perhaps the jobs report, or the latest chip selloff, kept traders at their desks. Or the robots are running the market more than ever.
