Stock market holiday: After logging its strongest weekly rally in over five years, the Indian stock market is likely to carry forward the momentum into the coming week. Meanwhile, amid the ongoing middle east tensions, peace talks between the US and Iran in Pakistan saw a setback on Sunday.

Investors, however, should brace for a shorter trading week, as Dalal Street will remain shut for one day. The market will function for only four sessions.

As per the 2026 holiday calendar, trading will remain closed on April 14 (Tuesday) on account of Dr. BR Ambedkar Jayanti. This marks the final market holiday for April, with the next closure scheduled for May 1 on Maharashtra Day.

On Tuesday, trading across the equity and equity derivatives segments will remain suspended. The currency derivatives, NDS-RST, and tri-party repo segments will also stay closed.

Meanwhile, the commodity derivatives and Electronic Gold Receipts (EGR) segments will operate only in the evening session. Trading in these segments will remain shut during the morning hours (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM) and resume at 5:00 PM.

Market Recap: What Happened Last Week

The Indian stock market witnessed a volatile yet strong week (April 6-10, 2026), ending with gains of around 5.5 per cent to 6 per cent , its best weekly performance in five years.

The week began on a weak note due to rising crude oil prices, escalating tensions between the US and Iran, and continued selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs). However, sentiment improved sharply midweek following a ceasefire announcement, easing oil prices, and stable policy signals from the RBI.
