Christmas 2024 stock market holiday: Are the BSE and NSE open or closed today?

In 2025, there will be fourteen trade holidays in the Indian stock exchanges.

Due to Christmas celebrations, the BSE and NSE, India's stock exchanges, will not be open for trading on Wednesday, December 25. Other financial exchanges in the US, UK, and Europe will also be closed for Christmas, which falls on the same day as the trading holiday.

In addition to stock trading, trade in commodities derivatives, currency derivatives, and electronic gold receipts (EGR) will be suspended.

This is 2024's final trading holiday. This year, the BSE and NSE observed sixteen vacations.

Muhurat Exchange
In 2025, muhurat trade will take place on October 21; the exact time will be announced later.

Diwali is seen by many Indian stockbrokers as the start of the fiscal year, and investors buy stocks during this time because they think it will bring wealth. In the past, 13 of the previous 17 Muhurat trading sessions have seen the BSE Sensex close higher.

The BSE and NSE close slightly in red.
After a tumultuous session, the domestic stock exchanges on Tuesday concluded the day in the red after failing to maintain their starting gains.

The Sensex closed at 78,472.87, down 67.30 points, or 0.09 percent, while the Nifty 50 ended at 23,727.65, down 25.80 points, or 0.11 percent.

A strong dollar and high bond yields in the US are the main causes of the pressure on the Indian stock markets, since FIIs are selling during rallies. In the current environment, investors also have a tendency to put safety before returns.
