Today, both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) are observing a holiday in honor of Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Jayanti. This means that trading activities in derivatives, equities, SLBs, currency derivatives, and interest rate derivatives will remain closed for the day. Additionally, the commodity derivatives segment will be closed in the morning session from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm but will open for the evening session from 5:00 pm to 11:55 pm.

Market participants can look forward to trading resuming on April 15 (Tuesday) as both the NSE and the BSE will be operational. Following this, the market will again be closed on Friday, April 18, for Good Friday.
Reflecting on recent market activity, on April 11, the stock market saw a positive uptrend with benchmark indices experiencing a nearly 2 percent increase. This surge was attributed to buying activities across various sectors after US President Donald Trump announced a 90-day halt on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China. Despite this, the 10 percent baseline tariffs remained in place.
By the end of the trading session, the Sensex had risen by 1,310.11 points to 75,157.26, while the Nifty surged by 429.40 points to reach 22,828.55. Despite this daily gain, for the week, both the BSE Sensex and Nifty50 indices incurred a 0.3 percent loss each.
Among the notable gainers were Hindalco Industries, Tata Steel, JSW Steel, Coal India, and Jio Financial, while TCS, Asian Paints, and Apollo Hospitals were among the losers. The positive momentum was reflected across all sectoral indices, with the Metal index leading the way with a 4 percent rise. Other sectors like Auto, Oil & Gas, Power, PSU, Telecom, and Pharma also saw gains of 2 percent each.
Technical analysis by experts indicated that Nifty’s short-term trend remains positive, with potential upside targets of 23400-23500 levels if it sustains above 22900-23000 levels. The Indian rupee also saw an uptick, closing at 86.05 per dollar, following a streak of declines, attributed to stronger regional currencies and favorable risk sentiment.

Looking ahead, market participants are advised to remain vigilant and consult with certified experts before making any investment decisions. The holiday on account of Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Jayanti serves as a moment of reflection amidst the market’s dynamic movements and events.
