Does New York Stock Exchange Close For Lunch? The New York Stock Exchange does not close for lunch. Most stock markets in Asia close for lunch and a few exchanges in the Middle East do as well. Stock exchanges in most of the rest of the world remain open continuously from the Opening Bell to the Closing bell.
Over the Rainbow was written by E.Y. Harburg (music by Harold Arlen) in 1939 for the movie, The Wizard of Oz. It was sung by Judy Garland in the movie and became her signatuâ¦re. I am a professional musician and forum administrator.
