Stock Market Shut for Ganesh Chaturthi; Fed Decision Keeps Gold Volatile
Stock Market, Sensex, Share Market: Oil prices jump more than $3 after new strikes on Saudi, Strait of Hormuz.
Stock markets, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), will observe a holiday on Monday, September 14th, due to the Hindu festival of Ganesh Chaturthi. The 2026 stock market holiday calendar confirms this as a full trading day off for both exchanges. Investors are barred from purchasing or selling equities during the regular trading session on this date, as equity derivatives will also be unavailable.
Trading on the NSE and BSE is set to resume on Tuesday, September 15th. The holiday marks a deviation from the banking and government office holidays observed in India. NSE and BSE calendars function independently. Ganesh Chaturthi, celebrated by Hindus, involves worshipping Lord Ganesha during the auspicious Madhyahna Kaal period.
Lord Ganesha's birth is traditionally associated with this midday period. In Mumbai, the puja (worship) takes place between 11:20 am and 1:48 pm, while in New Delhi, it is observed from 11:02 am to 1:31 pm. The commodity market, MCX, will function differently on Monday, September 14th, with the morning session from 9 am to 5 pm, followed by an evening session resuming at 5 pm and concluding at 11:30 pm.
During US Daylight Saving Time, trading may extend until 11:55 pm. In 2026, other notable stock market holidays include Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti on October 2nd, Diwali-Balipratipada on November 10th, Prakash Gurpurb on November 24th, and Sri Guru Nanak Dev on various dates.
