Yes. Friday, December 31st is not a public or national holiday and hence there is no reason why the market would be closed on that day. It will be open and carry on trading like other normal working days.
On January 1, 2010, the stock market was closed due to the New Year's Day holiday, so there was no official closing value for the Dow Jones Industrial Average on that date. However, the closing value on December 31, 2009, was approximately 10,428.05.
On January 1, 2011, the stock market was closed for the New Year's Day holiday, so there was no official Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) value that day. However, the DJIA closed at approximately 11,577.51 points on December 31, 2010. This figure is often referenced as the starting point for the year's market performance.
The U.S.Treasury (bond) market will close early at 2 p.m. today. Meanwhile, the equities market will close at its normal time, 4 p.m. on the last day of trading in 2010.
The stock market typically closes early on December 31st, as it is a half-day of trading in observance of New Year's Eve. In 2010, the market would have closed at 1:00 PM EST. However, it's always a good idea to check with specific exchanges or financial news sources for any updates or changes to trading hours.

I spoke with Bank of America and they told me that their branch will be open for normal hours on 12/31/2010 in the US. They will be closed on Saturday, January 1, 2011 in observance of New Year's Day.I got the following information from E-Trade about the stock market, and banks usually follow them:"In observance of the New Years holiday, the bond market will close early at 2:00 P.M. EST on Friday, December 31, 2010. The stock market will be open and operate as a regular trading day on Friday, December 31, 2010."So as far as I can tell they will be. There could be some local credit unions that choose to close but in general it looks like it is not a holiday for the banks in the US.
It closed at 2,276.87.
This is from the NYSE website. New Years' Day (January 1) in 2011 falls on a Saturday. The rules of the applicable exchanges state that when a holiday falls on a Saturday, we observe the preceding Friday unless the Friday is the end of a monthly or yearly accounting period. In this case, Friday, December 31, 2010 is the end of both a monthly and yearly accounting period; therefore the exchanges will be open that day and the following Monday.
