Stock Market Holiday Today: NSE & BSE Shut on June 26 for Muharram; Trading to Resume Monday

NSE and BSE will remain closed on Friday, June 26, 2026, in observance of Muharram. The shutdown covers all major equity-related segments, temporarily halting trading activity across Dalal Street.

With the holiday falling after the weekly derivatives expiry session, investors get a long weekend pause before markets reopen on Monday, June 29, 2026.

Equity and Derivatives Segments Fully Closed

All core market segments are non-operational today, including equity cash markets, equity derivatives, and Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs). This means no trading activity is taking place on either NSE or BSE for the full day.

The closure provides a complete break from regular market movements, giving traders time to reassess positions after recent volatility in the derivatives segment.

Commodity Markets See Partial Activity

While equity markets remain shut, commodity exchanges follow a split-session schedule:

• MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange): Closed in the morning session (9:00 AM–5:00 PM), but opens for evening trading.
• NCDEX: Closed for the entire day. 

This partial operation allows limited participation in commodity derivatives during the evening window on MCX.

Why the Market Is Closed Today

The closure is in observance of Muharram, a significant religious occasion marking the Islamic New Year. Indian stock exchanges observe a pre-decided holiday calendar that includes such national and religious events.

This break also creates a brief pause for market participants to review portfolios, especially after a high-activity expiry session on Thursday.

Conclusion

With NSE and BSE closed for Muharram, trading activity across Indian equity markets is temporarily paused. While commodities see limited evening participation on MCX, full-scale trading will resume on Monday. The holiday offers investors a short window to recalibrate strategies ahead of the next market cycle.
