After equity investors celebrated the auspicious occasion of Muhurat Trading on November 8, the markets re-opened for a regular market session on Monday, November 9.
As per Hindu mythology, Diwali-Balipratipada is celebrated to honour the return of King Mahabali to Earth. Lord Vishnu incarnated in his fifth form as Vamana to curb Mahabali’s rising dominion in the universe, only to be eventually pleased with Bali’s devotion and generosity.
Happy with his devotion and generosity, Vishnu allowed King Mahabali to visit Earth for a day every year, which is in turn celebrated among Hindus as Diwali-Balipratipada or the fourth day of the festival of lights.
The benchmark indices will re-open and resume normal trading on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
With the final leg of holidays in focus for the year 2026, after the Guru Nanak Jayanti market holiday on November 24, the stock markets will remain closed for all operations for only one day in December.
Along with the Indian stock market, the commodity market exchange, Multi-Commodity Exchange (MCX), will also remain closed for the morning trading session on Tuesday, November 10, for the Diwali-Balipratipada holiday.
The commodity market will resume for normal trading operations during the evening market session on MCX, which starts from 5 pm (IST) to 11:55 pm (IST) on November 10.
Similarly, on Guru Nanak Jayanti, MCX will remain closed for the morning session and resume trading for the evening session.
Only for the Christmas holiday, MCX will remain closed throughout the day.
NIFTY50 index failed to sustain its 25,000 levels during the trading session on November 9, with investors focusing on profit booking, as heavyweight IT stocks dragged down the gains from the early market hours.
As of 11:45 am (IST), the NIFTY50 index was trading flat at 24,990 points on Monday’s market session, in comparison to 24,986.40 points at the previous market close.
The BSE SENSEX was also trading flat at 81,045 points, in comparison to 80,999.40 points at the previous equity market close.
Investors were also witnessing the buying momentum in Asian markets, while the sustainability of FII investments in Indian equities remained the underlying question after the foreign investors snapped their six-day buying streak on Muhurat Trading Day.
This comes at a time when the latest reports show that US President Donald Trump has said that renewed attacks or escalations on Iran are “highly unlikely” if the negotiations between both countries produce a strong agreement, easing the overall risk sentiment in the market.
