Market Impact: How BSE holidays impact trading activity, price fluctuations and market trends
BSE holidays can have an impact on trading activity, price fluctuations and market trends. When the stock market is closed on holidays, no trades are executed, leading to a temporary pause in market movement. This may create a backlog of orders that may be processed once the market reopens, potentially causing increased volatility and price fluctuations. Market trends are likely to be influenced ahead of a holiday, as traders may adjust their positions in anticipation of the market closure. In addition, market sentiment could be affected by major events or news that coincide with a trading holiday, which impact is likely to be seen in the next trading session.
