Check the market holiday calendar
Updated 31 October 2026 · 3 min read · 14 Contents
Plain-language meaning
The market holiday calendar shows the exchange-published trading closures for the selected exchange and whether that exchange is closed today, using the exchange's local date. It lists only verified closure evidence and says so when none is configured.
Why it is useful #
It helps a user plan around closures and understand why a session has no new prices, without guessing from a generic national holiday list.
Where it appears and the workflow #
Open Market holidays (/market-holidays) and choose the exchange. The today panel reads 'Closed today' with the holiday name, 'Closed today — weekend', or 'No published closure today', and shows the next open session. Filter by previous, current or next year and switch between Upcoming only and Whole year. Each row shows the date, holiday with a source link, market and how many days away it is.
Calculation or source #
Closures come from the persisted Economic Calendar market-holiday events, synced from exchange-published lists. The exchange's time zone comes from its trading-hours record so 'today' is the venue's local date. The next open session is the first weekday that is not a published holiday, searched up to 30 days ahead.
Prerequisites, inputs, period and unit #
Prerequisites are an exchange with a configured closure source. Verified lists exist for NSE, BSE (which uses NSE's list), NYSE, AMEX (which uses NYSE's list), ASX and MCX. Dates are exchange-local calendar dates.
Worked example #
Illustrative only: on a Friday that NSE lists as a trading holiday, the panel reads 'Closed today' with the holiday name and gives the following Monday as the next open session. Indian Market Details pages will show Thursday's close as the latest bar.
What high and low mean #
This calendar has no high or low values; it is a list of dates. Days away counts calendar days, not trading sessions.
Positive, negative and zero #
Past holidays are dimmed and keep their date. A future row means a scheduled closure that can still be amended by the exchange. 'No published closure today' means the verified list was read and today is not on it.
Limitations and common mistakes #
Special sessions, partial days and segment-specific closures may not appear. An exchange can revise its list after publication. A common mistake is reading BSE or AMEX dates as an independent source when they reuse NSE or NYSE evidence.
Market-specific differences #
Each exchange uses its own local date and published list. India's commodity exchange MCX has its own calendar, which can differ from equity closures.
Suggested next steps #
Open the calendar for NSE, switch to Whole year and count the remaining closures. Then choose an exchange without a configured source and explain why the page will not say it is open today.
