Stock Market Holiday: Today India is celebrating its 77th Republic Day, and on the occasion of this national festival, both the Indian stock markets NSE and BSE will remain completely closed today, Monday. This is the second trading holiday this year. Let us tell you that along with equity, there will be no work in derivatives (F&O), currency and commodity markets (MCX) today. Commodity markets generally have evening sessions open, but on national holidays like Republic Day, both morning and evening sessions of MCX will remain closed. Now trading in the market will start normally from 9:15 am tomorrow, i.e. Tuesday, January 27.
Will the market be open on Sunday, February 1?
Usually, there is a weekly holiday in the stock market on Saturday and Sunday, but this time a big decision has been taken in view of the historical importance of the Union Budget 2026. NSE and BSE have issued official circulars confirming that the market will remain fully open on Sunday, February 1. This decision has been taken so that investors can react in real time to the policy announcements and tax changes made during the budget speech and maintain transparency in the market. Trading timings during this special session will be from 9:15 am to 3:30 pm like a normal working day, with trading in all three segments – Equity, Derivatives and Currency.

How was the market condition last week?
Last week was full of ups and downs for stock market investors. Nifty 50 fell 2.51% to close at 25,048 due to global uncertainty and pre-Budget caution. At the same time, Sensex is also down by about 1,000 points at 81,537. Experts believe that when the market opens tomorrow, budget expectations and ‘short covering’ may support the market.
