Stock Market Holidays 2024

The last holiday for March is Good Friday, based on the stock market holiday calendar for 2024. There will be two stock market holidays in April 2024: April 11 and April 17. The Indian stock market will be closed on April 11 in observance of Eid-Ul-Fitr, also known as Ramzan Eid. On April 17, the NSE and BSE will be closed to observe Ram Navami.

Following the US and UK central banks’ decisions to hold interest rates last Friday, local stocks rose sharply in tandem with the global rally. After a slow start, the Nifty 50 index increased over time, closing the day at 22097, up 85 points (+0.4%). Except for IT, every industry saw gains as the overall market finished favorably. Auto, Pharma, and Realty were some of the best-performing companies. But when US IT firm Accenture revised its revenue estimates for FY24, the IT industry felt some selling pressure. After initially estimating 2 to 5 percent, Accenture revised its full-year sales growth expectation to a range of 1 to 3 percent.
