US stock markets will close on January 9, 2024, in observance of a national day of mourning following the death of former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away on December 29 at the age of 100. The New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, and Cboe will halt operations, honoring the tradition of closing markets after a president's death, a practice that dates back to Abraham Lincoln. During this period, the NYSE will fly the US flag at half-staff to pay tribute to Carter's service.
