Presidents... U.S. investors get a break on Monday, Feb. 20, with markets closed for the Presidents Day holiday. The New York Stock Exchange, owned by Intercontinental Exchange Inc. ICE , and the Nasdaq NDAQ will both be closed. Sifma, the financial industry trade group, has recommended that trading in U.S. fixed-income markets also close on Monday.

Presidents Day is a federal holiday, so don’t spend it waiting by the mailbox or planning an in-person meeting with your favorite banker.It will give investors a three-day weekend to digest a recent run of economic data that’s led traders to largely move market expectations for interest rate rises back in line with the Federal Reserve’s projections.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA remains up 1.7% for the year to date, while the S&P 500 SPX has risen 6.5% and the Nasdaq Composite COMP has jumped over 13%. That’s a mirror image of last year’s carnage, which saw the Dow outperform while the Nasdaq slumped by more than 30% as the Fed aggressively hiked interest rates.
