The US will honor the late former President Jimmy Carter, who died on December 29 at the age of 100. President Joe Biden issued an executive order declaring January 9 a day of mourning – the same day as the official state funeral at the Washington National Cathedral.

Biden is expected to deliver a eulogy, and President-elect Donald Trump told reporters he planned to attend the service. All flags will be flown at half-staff for 30 days following Carter’s death.

Many services, businesses and financial centers will be open as usual as it is not a federal holiday. But be sure to check the opening times of local shops before you go.

The last national day of mourning was in December 2018 in honor of the late former President George HW Bush, who died at the age of 94.

Here’s what’s been completed Thursday, January 9th.

Nasdaq will close all of its stock and options markets on the national day of mourning. There will also be a moment of silence in honor of the former president at 9:20 a.m. EST. According to an advisory from the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, the bond market will close at 2:00 p.m. EST.

“We mourn the loss of President Carter and will close our U.S. markets during the national day of mourning to celebrate his life and honor his legacy,” Nasdaq President Tal Cohen said in a statement.

There is no trading on the New York Stock Exchange and the US flag flying over the exchange is at half-staff.

According to the National Postal Mail Handlers Union, the U.S. Postal Service will suspend regular operations on January 9th. The union pointed out that there could still be limited parcel deliveries.

Chief Justice John Roberts ordered the closure of the Supreme Court building on Thursday. The court is not scheduled to meet that day, but it is approaching the Jan. 19 deadline set by TikTok to separate from its Chinese parent company – a federal law that the company has challenged in the Supreme Court.

As part of the implementing regulation, all federal ministries and agencies will be closed. But some key national defense and security personnel may still be on duty that day.
