Is the Stock Market Open Today? Here Are the Thanksgiving and Black Friday Trading Hours.

This year, Thanksgiving and Black Friday come after two days of stock market gains. On Wednesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq Composite all finished higher after the release of the minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee meeting earlier this month, which hinted that the Fed may become less aggressive with rate hikes moving forward.
