The stock market holiday today applies to the whole equity ecosystem, so there is no pre-open session, no live price discovery and no order matching on NSE or BSE. Orders placed through a broker app on a holiday wait in a queue or are rejected, depending on the broker, so check the order status screen. For the index levels at the last close, see the Nifty 50 and the Sensex pages.

How the Diwali Balipratipada Holiday Fits the Diwali Week

Date in Diwali week	Market status	Note
Stock market holiday today: sunday 8 November 2026	Muhurat trading, 2:20 PM to 3:30 PM	Special session for Diwali Laxmi Pujan; regular trading was closed
Stock market holiday today: monday 9 November 2026	Normal trading	Regular hours after the weekend and the Muhurat session
Stock market holiday today: tuesday 10 November 2026	Closed for Diwali Balipratipada	The stock market holiday today
Diwali Balipratipada: wednesday 11 November 2026	Normal trading	First session after the break

Diwali Balipratipada marks the day after Diwali Laxmi Pujan, and the exchanges close for it every year when it falls on a weekday. In 2026 the Laxmi Pujan fell on a Sunday, which is why the exchanges held a short Muhurat session on 8 November and then closed on Tuesday. The effect is a short week with a break in the middle, so some traders reduce positions before a closure while others keep them, and neither choice is advice from Univest.

Settlement, Corporate Actions and the Stock Market Holiday Today

Stock market holiday today: effect	What it means	My reading
Diwali Balipratipada: trades on Monday 9 November	Settle on the next working day under T+1	Settlement should fall on Wednesday 11 November, after the holiday
Diwali Balipratipada: record dates and ex-dates	Exchanges adjust the calendar around the closure	Check each company's notice; a date can shift
Diwali Balipratipada: margin and expiry	Positions carry over the closure	Check your broker's margin rules for the break
Diwali Balipratipada: mutual fund NAV	Cut-off and NAV dates move to the next working day	Check the fund house's notice
Diwali Balipratipada: bank and payment timing	Some bank holidays vary by state	Plan fund transfers before the closure

The stock market holiday today does not cancel corporate events, but a date that falls on a closure may move. A company whose record date is 12 November, for example, still trades normally on 11 and 12 November, since only 10 November is shut. Read the exchange notice for every event you track, because the calendar is the only source that matters for dates.

What to Watch Before the Market Reopens on 11 November

Item to watch	What is known	Why it matters
Diwali Balipratipada: US markets on 9 November	Dow up about 2.15%, S&P 500 up about 2.35%, Nasdaq up about 2.74%	A strong global session can set the tone for the reopening
Diwali Balipratipada: nvidia and chip stocks	Nvidia fell about 4% while Broadcom and AMD rose sharply	Technology sentiment can reach Indian IT stocks
Diwali Balipratipada: crude oil	Brent fell about 5.85% to about $92.57 on 9 November	Oil affects inflation and the rupee
Diwali Balipratipada: Q2 results	KPI Green Energy and KP Energy report on 13 November; Tata Power is due by 14 November	Results can move individual stocks
Diwali Balipratipada: US inflation data	Reported as due on Tuesday in the US	It can shift rate expectations

None of these items predicts the 11 November open, and a global rally does not mean a domestic one. The point is to prepare a watchlist and a plan, not to guess a direction. Sector indices such as the Nifty IT and the Nifty Bank help show which areas of the market responded on 9 November.

Upcoming Stock Market Holidays After Diwali Balipratipada

Next stock market holiday	Date and day	Occasion
Next full-day closure	Tuesday 24 November 2026	Prakash Gurpurb Sri Guru Nanak Dev
Last scheduled closure of 2026	Friday 25 December 2026	Christmas
Holidays counted for 2026	15 or 16, depending on the source	One guide counts 16 weekday holidays; others count 15

The count differs because guides treat the weekend holidays and the Muhurat session differently, so rely on the NSE and BSE circulars, not on any summary. If you plan trades around a holiday, the two names to remember after today are 24 November and 25 December.

Stock Market Holiday Today: Checklist and Risks

Investor situation	Questions to consider
Existing investor	Do I have open orders, margin calls or expiry exposure that the closure affects?
New investor	Have I used the closure to read about the stocks I follow, not to rush an order for the reopening?
Short-term trader	Can I hold risk through a gap at the 11 November open, and where would I exit?
Long-term investor	Does a one-day closure change my plan, or should I stay with my usual review schedule?

The main risk of a holiday is a gap at the next open, since news and global moves arrive while the Indian market is shut. Orders placed for the reopening can fill at prices far from the last close. Treat the closure as a pause for planning, and stay within your own risk limits.

Why is the stock market closed on Diwali Balipratipada?

Ans. The exchanges list Diwali Balipratipada as a trading holiday on their annual calendars. In 2026 the Laxmi Pujan fell on Sunday 8 November, so the exchanges held a special Muhurat session that day and closed for the festival on the following Tuesday.

What time was Muhurat trading on 8 November 2026?

Ans. The special session ran from 2:20 PM to 3:30 PM on Sunday 8 November 2026, according to a broker's holiday note. Exchanges announce the exact timing and the pre-open window by circular, so check the notice for details.

Are commodity and currency markets also closed today?

Ans. Currency derivatives follow the equity calendar and are closed. One bank's holiday guide shows commodity derivatives open on 10 November, but session timings are set by the commodity exchange, so confirm with MCX before placing any order.

How many stock market holidays are there in 2026?

What happens to my trades and orders on the stock market holiday today?

Ans. No orders are matched on the exchanges. Orders placed on a holiday either wait in a queue for the next session or are rejected, depending on your broker, so check the order book before the reopening. Trades from 9 November settle on the next working day.

What should investors do during the stock market holiday today?
