On January 9th, the U.S. stock markets will pause operations to honor a significant historical figure, President Jimmy Carter, during his funeral proceedings. This announcement comes from the Nasdaq.
Nasdaq President Tal Cohen expressed his condolences, stating, “We are deeply saddened by President Carter’s passing. In tribute, our U.S. markets will observe a closure on the National Day of Mourning, reflecting on his life and the profound impact he left behind.”
President Carter, the 39th leader of the United States, reached the remarkable age of 100. Though his tenure in office lasted just one term, his post-presidential years were distinguished by global humanitarian efforts. From advocating for affordable housing and battling various diseases to championing the integrity of elections worldwide, Carter’s legacy extends far beyond his presidency.
