Will an extra Bank Holiday be declared in the US before midnight October 31st

Settled as No

There have been no declarations of any additional bank holidays as of 10/31/08

Background:

In a previous financial crisis FDR declared a bank holiday at short notice in order to provide time to calm the markets and the depositors.

Will similar measures be required happen this time round?

Specifically - will an additional National Bank Holiday be declared - by any of the relevant US authorities (including, but not exclusively the President) before midnight on October 31st.

For this question to be resolved as "Yes" the declaration of the bank holiday has to be made by midnight 31 October Eastern Standard Time. The timing of the Bank Holiday itself is not relevant.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
