Today, the nation is pausing to remember the late President and humble peanut farmer, Jimmy Carter.

It is the National Day of Mourning, with the former President’s funeral today. Carter has been lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda and is currently making his way across D.C. right now.

A National Day of Mourning means there will be shakeups in the markets. Equities are closed, with commodity markets wrapping up at 12:15 PM Eastern.
