After recording its best weekly performance in more than 5 years, the Indian stock market is set to maintain these gains next week as ceasefire talks are underway between the US and Iran in Pakistan. However, next week may be a little shorter in terms of trading days. There is a reason for this also. After Monday, the stock market will remain closed on the next day i.e. Tuesday. This means that the stock market will be open only for 4 days next week. According to the list of stock market holidays in India for 2026, trading will remain closed on 14 April 2026 (Tuesday) on the occasion of Dr. Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Jayanti.
Therefore, trading in the equity segment and equity derivative segment will remain closed on Tuesday next week. Trading will also remain closed in the currency derivatives segment, NDS-RST and tri-party repo segment on Tuesday next week. However, trading in the Commodity Derivatives segment and Electronic Gold Receipt (EGR) segment will remain closed only in the morning shift from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Trading in the commodity derivatives segment and electronic gold receipt (EGR) segment will resume in the evening shift at 5 PM.

stock market last week
The Indian equity market saw a very volatile week (April 610, 2026), but it ended with a strong gain of about 5.56 per cent, its best weekly performance in more than five years. The beginning of the week was weak, due to rising crude oil prices, geopolitical tension regarding the US-Iran situation and continuous outflow of FIIs. However, after the announcement of ceasefire in the middle of the week, fall in oil prices and stable policy of RBI, the market mood improved rapidly, which led to a broad rally led by financial, realty and auto stocks. Despite a brief spell of profit-taking, markets regained strength on Friday, with Nifty crossing the 24,000 mark again. Overall, strength in domestic sectors and easing of global concerns helped the markets make a strong comeback, while external factors like oil prices and global cues also played an important role.
