stock market
The trading schedule in the Indian stock market seems to be slightly changed this week. It is important for investors to know that the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) will remain closed on April 14 on the occasion of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Jayanti. Because of this, there will be no trading in the equity and derivatives segment on this day.
The effect of holidays was visible in the market in the last few days also. Trading was halted for two days due to Good Friday and Mahavir Jayanti. In such a situation, due to continuous holidays, the number of trading days has reduced this week, which may also affect the strategy of investors.
There will be no trade even on MCX
Talking about the commodity market, the morning session on Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) will remain closed on Ambedkar Jayanti, but trading will resume in the evening session. On the other hand, the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) will remain closed for the whole day, that is, there will be no buying and selling of any kind there.
A total of 16 market holidays have been fixed in the trading calendar for the year 2026. Many of these holidays have been completed till now, while some are still pending. In the coming months after Ambedkar Jayanti, the market will also remain closed on important occasions like Maharashtra Day, Eid-al-Azha, Muharram, Ganesh Chaturthi, Gandhi Jayanti, Dussehra, Diwali (Balipratipada), Guru Nanak Jayanti and Christmas.
Market will remain closed on these festivals also
There are some holidays which are falling on weekends, hence they will not have any impact on trading separately. These include days like Mahashivratri, Eid-ul-Fitr, Independence Day and Diwali. Like every year, Muhurta trading will be organized this time also on the occasion of Diwali. This is a typical traditional trading session which lasts for about an hour. Its time is announced later by the exchange and it is considered auspicious.
Recently a sharp decline was also seen in the market. Both Sensex and Nifty recorded a decline of more than 2%. The main reason for this is being said to be tension at the global level and failure in US-Iran talks, due to which investors became worried and selling pressure was seen.
