President Joe Biden declared January 9 as a day of mourning in an executive order – the same day as the official state funeral at the Washington National Cathedral.
The last national day of mourning was in December 2018 in honor of the late former President George H.W.
Stock marketNasdaq will close all of its equities and options markets on the national day of mourning.
“We mourn the loss of President Carter and will be closing our U.S. markets during the National Day of Mourning to celebrate his life and honor his legacy,” said Tal Cohen, Nasdaq president, in a statement.
But some vital employees for national defense and security may still be working that day.
