June 2026 is one of the simpler months for Indian stock market holidays. There is only one trading holiday in the entire month.

Both NSE and BSE will remain closed on Friday, 26 June 2026, on account of Muharram. Because the holiday falls on a Friday, it creates a three-day trading break, commonly known as a long weekend.

Here’s everything you need to know in a clear and practical way.

Why This Long Weekend Matters

Since 26 June is a Friday, traders will get a three-day break from the markets (26, 27 & 28 June). Markets will reopen normally on Monday, 29 June 2026.

What usually happens around this long weekend?

  • On 25 June (Thursday), many traders square off or reduce their F&O positions. This can lead to higher volatility and volume.

  • On 29 June (Monday), the market may open with a gap (up or down), depending on global cues and any important news over the weekend.

  • Traders holding overnight F&O positions should be extra cautious, as gap risk increases during long weekends.

What is Muharram?

Muharram is the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar and is observed as a public holiday in India. Stock exchanges remain closed on this day as a mark of respect, which is a standard practice followed every year.
