Share Market Holiday April 14th 2025: Adding to the holiday-shortened week, markets will also be closed on Friday, April 18, for Good Friday
Stock Market Holiday Today
Share Market Holiday Today: Indian stock markets are shut today, April 14, on account of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Jayanti, offering traders a much-needed long weekend break after weeks of high volatility. The NSE and BSE will remain closed, while the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) will operate only during the morning session (9 am to 5 pm).
Ambedkar Jayanti, observed every year on April 14, commemorates the birth anniversary of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution and a champion of social justice.
Adding to the holiday-shortened week, markets will also be closed on Friday, April 18, for Good Friday. This leaves investors with just three trading sessions—Tuesday to Thursday—to navigate a week that is expected to remain choppy due to global uncertainties.
Commodity markets will remain fully closed on Friday, with no trading in either session.
Stock Market Outlook for the Week
Last week, the Nifty50 index swung sharply, briefly hitting levels last seen in June 2024, before staging a recovery and closing with a marginal weekly loss of 0.33% at 22,828. Despite the bounce from recent lows, analysts caution that volatility may persist this week, largely due to ongoing trade tensions between the US and China, even as sentiment improves for other global players.
From a technical standpoint, the Nifty is currently trading below its 21-day and 55-day exponential moving averages (EMAs)—a sign that the market trend remains weak.
