📅 Stock Market Holiday Alert: NSE & BSE Closed Today for Ambedkar Jayanti (April 14, 2025)

Today, Indian stock markets—both NSE (National Stock Exchange) and BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange)—remain closed in observance of Ambedkar Jayanti. This closure comes as a breather for traders after a few intense and volatile trading weeks, offering a long weekend to recharge.

📈 A Much-Needed Break for Traders

The past few weeks have been quite hectic, with benchmark indices like Sensex and Nifty swinging wildly. Global developments, especially moves by U.S. President Donald Trump, have kept investors on edge. His announcement of heavy tariffs—and the subsequent pause—shook global trade dynamics, impacting market sentiment worldwide, including in India.

With today’s holiday and another coming up on April 18 (Good Friday), investors are enjoying a short trading week with only three active sessions. It’s a rare double break and an opportunity to pause and reset.

📊 What’s Open, What’s Not

While NSE and BSE are shut today, the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) is partially open. It will function only during the morning session (9 AM to 5 PM). This partial activity allows for limited trading in commodities like gold and oil.

🗓️ Stock Market Holidays in 2025

Here’s a quick list of upcoming market holidays in 2025:

• Labour Day – May 1

• Independence Day – August 15

• Ganesh Chaturthi – August 27

• Gandhi Jayanti / Dussehra – October 2

• Diwali – October 21

• Diwali Balipratipada – October 22

• Gurpurb – November 5

• Christmas – December 25

📌 Note: A special Muhurat Trading session will be held on Diwali. Exact timings will be announced later.

🌐 Global Cues Still a Concern

Despite today's break, market experts warn that volatility is far from over. While Asian markets opened strong today—thanks to Trump’s easing of tariffs on tech products—uncertainty still looms over global trade, especially with ongoing US-China tensions.

Gold prices dipped, oil prices remained flat, and the US Dollar is still weak—highlighting the fragile mood in the market.

📉 Nifty's Technical Picture

According to analysts, the Nifty 50 index ended last week at 22,828 with a slight 0.33% dip after touching lows not seen since June 2024. Currently, it is trading below its crucial 21-day and 55-day EMAs, which signals weakness.

• Support Levels: 22,500 and 22,200

• Resistance Level: 23,050

• Strategy: “Sell on Rise,” as per market expert Puneet Singhania

📢 Investors are advised to stay cautious and avoid aggressive buying until the market stabilizes.

🔍 Final Thoughts
As we remember Dr. B.R. Ambedkar today—a key architect of India’s Constitution—it's also a moment for market participants to reflect and prepare for what’s next. With back-to-back holidays this week, this pause might just be what the markets need before they enter the next phase of action.
