Stock Market Holiday: The Maharashtra government last week shifted the public holiday for Eid-e-Milad in Mumbai and sub-urban districts from Friday, September 5 to Monday, September 8. The change in Eid-e-Milad holiday has raised questions among investors and traders about the stock market holiday on September 8.
Stock Market Holiday on 8 September: Will NSE, BSE Remain Closed On Monday?
No, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) will not remain shut on Monday. As per the BSE and NSE holiday calendar, trading will remain open on September 8.
Hours after the Maharashtra government released a notification to change the Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi holiday, NSE issued a circular informing investors about the settlement holiday. But trading on NSE and BSE will continue on Monday.
Will MCX Remain Closed On Monday?
Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) will remain open on Monday and there will be no holiday as per the MCX holiday calendar. The exchange will be open for trading in commodities both in the morning as well as the evening sessions on Monday.

Stock Market Last Week
The Indian stock market ended with minor losses on Friday. However, Nifty 50 earned around 0.86 points and BSE Sensex gained around 522 points in the past five trading sessions. On Friday, the benchmark indices recovered from the early losses and ended flat.
“Nifty50 closed at 24,741 (+0.03%), while Nifty Midcap100 and Smallcap100 were up by 0.2% each. Amongst sectors, Nifty Auto outperformed with a 1.25% gain, led by strength in large-cap auto stocks as automobiles are one of the biggest beneficiaries on the GST 2.0 reforms. On the other hand, Nifty FMCG lost 1.4% due to profit-taking after a five-day winning streak. Nifty IT declined by 1.4%, reversing early gains due to concerns over weaker than expected U.S. labour data and its implications over the US economic growth,” noted Siddhartha Khemka – Head of Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd
A host of factors will continue to impact Nifty and Sensex next week including developments around India-US trade, Rupee valuation, FII/DII inflows, US Fed rate cut expectations, etc.
“While external headwinds from global trade uncertainties and tariff hikes remain a key risk, the combination of a simplified GST framework and positive domestic macros would underpin market momentum in the near term,” added Khemka.
