SIFMA Recommends a Full Market Close on November 27 in the U.K. in Observance of the U.S. Thanksgiving Day Holiday

New York, N.Y., November 13, 2025 — SIFMA has confirmed its previous recommendation for a full market close on Thursday, November 27 for the trading of U.S. dollar-denominated fixed income securities in the U.K. in observance of the U.S. Thanksgiving Day Holiday.

These recommendations apply to trading of U.S. dollar-denominated government securities, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, over-the-counter investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, municipal bonds and secondary money market trading in bankers’ acceptances, commercial paper and Yankee and Euro certificates of deposit.

SIFMA’s recommended early and full market closes are recommendations only; each member firm should decide for itself whether its fixed income departments remain open for trading.  All SIFMA recommendations are subject to change due to market conditions.
