U.S. stock and bond markets will be closed Monday, June 20, in observance of the Juneteenth holiday which commemorates the end of slavery.
Juneteenth, which is celebrated annually by many on June 19, is a day marking the end of slavery in the U.S. in 1865. The association agreed to incorporate the day into its regular holiday schedule. Itโs the first national holiday created by Congress in nearly four decades.
