The stock market operates on specific days, but scheduled holidays impact trading activities. In January 2025, investors should note these holidays to plan their trading strategies effectively. Market closures often align with national festivals or significant events, and understanding these dates can help traders avoid surprises and ensure smoother financial planning.
In January 2025, the Indian stock market has no additional holidays apart from the usual Saturdays and Sundays. Although Republic Day, January 26, is typically a market holiday, this year it falls on a Sunday, so there are no weekday closures. The stock market will remain open on January 1, 2025, across both NSE and BSE. The next weekday stock market holiday will occur on February 26, 2025, for Mahashivratri.
The US stock markets are closed on January 1 in observance of New Year’s Day. According to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, trading for 2025 will commence on January 2. Trading hours on December 31, 2024, were shortened to accommodate the holiday schedule. Furthermore, the US stock markets will remain closed on January 9, 2025, to observe a national day of mourning for former US President and Nobel Laureate Jimmy Carter.
Whether you’re an active trader or a long-term investor, being aware of stock market holidays is essential for managing your portfolio and aligning trades with market schedules.
