The New York Stock Exchange and NYSE Arca, subsidiaries of NYSE Group, Inc. (NYSE: NYX), will be closed on Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2007 in observance of the national day of mourning for President Gerald R. Ford.

В двадцатом веке было одиннадцать подобных случаев, в двадцать первом это второй.

Five presidents merited only a partial closing. Only one president, Benjamin Harrison, was not honored with a memorial closing at the NYSE. Archival records do not indicate why.
