Stock Market Holiday: Why is the stock market closed tomorrow?

Important news for stock market investors. The BSE and NSE will remain closed on Tuesday, November 10th. Both exchanges will be closed due to the Diwali-Balipratipada festival following Diwali. If you plan to buy or sell shares on Tuesday, plan your trading accordingly.

Interestingly, despite Diwali falling on a Sunday, the stock market held Muhurat trading. Normal trading followed on Monday, but Tuesday will be a market holiday. The commodity market, MCX, will also be closed in the morning session, though trading will resume in the evening.

 

Why will the stock market be closed tomorrow?
The stock market will be closed on November 10th due to the Diwali-Balipratipada festival, which is celebrated the day after Diwali. This holiday is included in the official holiday calendar for 2026 for the NSE and BSE.

Normal trading will not occur on this day in equity, equity derivatives, and other related segments. This means investors will be unable to buy or sell shares as usual, and regular trading will not occur in these segments.

When will trading take place?
Along with the stock market, the commodity exchange MCX will also have no morning trading on Tuesday. Trading on MCX will be closed from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. After this, trading will resume in the evening session, which will run until 11:55 PM.

This means that investors trading in gold, silver and other commodity contracts will also have to plan their deals accordingly.

When will the stock market be closed?
After the November 10th holiday, the stock market still has two more trading holidays this year. According to the NSE and BSE calendars, these holidays will occur in November and December.
