Traders and investors are eagerly anticipating the upcoming Diwali week, wondering about the trading schedule of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) on October 20. With various holidays approaching, it is crucial for investors to stay informed about the market’s operational status.
During this festive season, the BSE and NSE will be open for regular trading on Monday, October 20. However, both exchanges will remain closed on Tuesday, October 21, for Diwali Lakshmi Puja, and Wednesday, October 22, for Balipratipada. This leaves investors with only one trading day amidst the holiday breaks.
One significant event to look forward to is the Muhurat Trading session, a symbolic one-hour trading window that signifies the commencement of Vikram Samvat 2082, the Hindu New Year. Scheduled for Tuesday, October 21, from 1:45 PM to 2:45 PM, this auspicious session is believed to bring prosperity and good fortune to investors.
The trading session will encompass equities, F&O, currencies, commodities, and SLB segments, offering opportunities for investors across various market segments. This trading window represents a momentous occasion for traders and investors to make strategic investment decisions.
As the festive celebrations kick off, Dhanteras on Saturday, October 18, and Sunday, October 19, will be non-trading days due to the exchanges’ closure on weekends. Regular trading will resume on Monday, October 20, before the market observes a pause for the Diwali holidays.
Following the Diwali break, the subsequent stock market holidays will be for Gurunanak Jayanti on Wednesday, November 5, and Christmas on Thursday, December 25. As investors navigate through the festive season, it is essential to plan their trading activities around these upcoming holidays.
This festive season brings a blend of market holidays and trading opportunities, emphasizing the importance of staying informed about the operational schedule of the BSE and NSE. Investors should leverage these insights to strategize their trading activities effectively during this festive period.
