BSE and NSE closed Friday April 3 for Good Friday
Heads up, investors, both the BSE and the NSE will be closed this Friday, April 3, for Good Friday. That means a bonus long weekend for anyone tracking stocks.
This is actually the second market holiday this week after Mahavir Jayanti on March 31.
If you're into commodities, MCX is also taking the day off.
Major global markets closed, Sensex +1.65%
It's not just India: stock markets in places like Australia, Canada, most European markets, and the US are also closed for Good Friday as people mark the occasion worldwide.
Looking ahead, there's another market break coming up on April 14 for Dr. Ambedkar Jayanti. In total, there are 11 market holidays lined up from April onward.
And quick update: Indian indices had a good start to April with Sensex jumping 1.65% and Nifty up by 1.56%, boosted by hopes of peace in the U.S.-Iran situation.
