Indian stock markets are shut today, Tuesday, November 10, as both the National Stock Exchange and the Bombay Stock Exchange observe a trading holiday for Diwali-Balipratipada. With equities, equity derivatives and currency segments all closed for the day, investors get a breather after a strong start to Samvat 2083. Trading resumes as usual on Wednesday, November 11.
The holiday comes a day after a steady Monday session in which the benchmarks closed with modest gains. The Sensex settled 107.25 points, or 0.13 percent, higher at 81,106.65, while the Nifty advanced 58.25 points, or 0.23 percent, to close at 25,044.65. The session had begun on a firm note, slipped into the red during the afternoon as profit booking set in, and then recovered in the final hour on buying in banking stocks.
What moved the market on Monday
Public sector bank stocks led the rally on Monday, with the banking pack finishing the session near the day’s high. SBI was among the top gainers on the Nifty, along with Trent and NTPC, as investors picked up shares of state-run lenders after a run of strong quarterly numbers from the s/ector.
Not everything rose. IT and metal stocks stayed under pressure through the day. Tata Steel, HCLTech and UltraTech Cement were among the biggest losers on the Nifty, dragging the index down before the late recovery in banks steadied the benchmarks.
The special Muhurat trading session on Sunday, November 8, which opened the new Samvat 2083, had ended marginally lower, snapping a seven-day winning run for the benchmarks. Monday’s close put the indices back in the green, though only just, with both the Sensex and the Nifty ending the day near the flat line.
What is open and what is closed today
Regular trading in equities and equity derivatives stays shut for the whole of Tuesday. The commodity exchange MCX follows a partial holiday, with its morning session closed and trading resuming for the evening session.
For most investors, today is simply a no-trading day. Orders placed earlier cannot be executed, and fresh positions can only be taken when the market reopens on Wednesday. The exchanges have listed only three trading holidays for the rest of the year, with the next one falling on November 24 for Guru Nanak Jayanti.
- NSE and BSE: closed all day on Tuesday, November 10, for Diwali-Balipratipada
- MCX: morning session closed, evening session open
- Trading resumes: Wednesday, November 11, at the usual 9:15 am open
- Next market holiday: Tuesday, November 24, for Guru Nanak Jayanti
What to watch when trading resumes
When the market reopens on Wednesday, traders will watch whether the banking rally that rescued Monday’s session has more room to run, and whether IT stocks find their footing after two soft sessions. The Nifty closed Monday just above the 25,000 mark, a level traders will watch closely in the first hour of trade.
With the festive week behind them, investors will also turn their attention back to the earnings season and to global cues, which have driven much of the recent volatility. For now, though, Dalal Street takes the day off, and the screens stay dark until Wednesday morning.
