Stock Market Holidays 2024 Many traders need to stay updated on stock market activities, taking advantage of the few market holidays when stock exchanges are closed, such as government holidays (like Gandhi Jayanti) or cultural/religious holidays (like Diwali). Even with markets open on some holidays, external events can impact market sentiment, emphasizing the importance of staying vigilant and mindful of investments. It’s crucial to remain alert during holidays to avoid missing out on opportunities due to distractions or other activities.
