The Indian stock market will remain closed today on account of the 10th Muharram holiday. Trading will resume on Monday, June 29, after the long weekend.
Trading on both the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty will remain shut as Muslims mark the martyrdom of Imam Hussain and his companions in Karbala, Iraq.
The holiday is applicable to all major equity segments, including equities, derivatives, and Securities Lending and Borrowing (SLB).
There will be no trading activity throughout the day on either exchange. This is the second straight holiday in less than five weeks after the Eid-ul-Adha break in May.
Commodity traders should note that the schedule is slightly different today.
The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) will remain closed during the morning session, but trading will resume in the evening session from 5 pm to 11:55 pm.
However, the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) will remain shut for the entire day.
Indian benchmark indices extended their winning streak for the second consecutive day on June 25, with the Nifty reclaiming 24,250 and hitting a more than one-month high, aided by easing crude oil prices and buying in auto, FMCG, and realty stocks.
However, selling in metal, IT, and oil & gas names limited the gains. At close, the Sensex was up 109.25 points or 0.14 per cent at 77,100.47, while the Nifty was up 34.35 points or 0.14 per cent at 24,056.
