Holidays in November 2026
November 11. Federal offices and the bond market close. Stock exchanges typically remain open, which makes this day a useful tell for how a contract defines 'business day': the SIFMA bond-market calendar and the federal-holiday calendar agree, while some equity-market-anchored definitions do not.
The fourth Thursday of November. Federal offices, banks, the Federal Reserve, and US capital markets close. The NYSE and Nasdaq run a half-day session on the day after (Black Friday), closing at 1pm Eastern. Logistics and shipping cutoffs accelerate the prior week.

Using This Calculator
A receivables analyst running a Net 30 portfolio uses the 19-business-day count in November 2026 to project cash collections by Friday of each week and to flag invoices whose due dates land on the holidays listed above. A project manager scoping a sprint that starts on the first business day of November uses the calendar grid to slot stand-ups, design reviews, and customer demos onto live working days rather than weekends. A specialty contractor billing time and materials uses the day-of-week distribution to see how many Mondays and Fridays fall in November 2026, which matters for crews who set installation appointments at the start and end of each week and skip Tuesday-to-Thursday for travel-heavy jobs.
