Stock Market Holiday Today, September 14: Are BSE, NSE, MCX Closed On Ganesh Chaturthi? Which Market Is Open?

The Indian stock market will be closed for the first day of Ganpati sthapana to the 10-day celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi in many states of India, especially in Maharashtra. Since Mumbai is the headquarters of exchanges like BSE and NSE and also witnesses thousands of Ganesh pandals every year, trading is bound to be closed. However, not every market is closed on Monday, September 14, 2026. Indian investors can still trade in Asian stocks and Wall Street across the world.

BSE, NSE Holiday On September 14, 2026

As per the BSE and NSE holiday list, the Indian stock market is closed on September 14, 2026, due to Ganesh Chaturthi. This means trading in the equity segment, the equity derivative segment, currencies, and commodities will be closed on Monday.

The market will resume its trading directly on September 15, 2026, which is a Tuesday.

Commodity Market Holiday On September 14, 2026

Unlike equities or derivatives, the commodity market on September 14, 2026, will follow a different pattern to the holiday. There are two sessions each day at MCX, one that is called the morning trading session and the second evening session.

Since September 14th is a market holiday overall in India, the morning trading session, which usually begins from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm every weekday, will be closed on MCX. But the evening session, which begins from 5:00 pm to 11:30/11:45 pm on weekdays, will operate as normal. Hence, the evening session will be open.

Bappa has arrived in many parts of India, especially in Maharashtra from September 14, 2026. The Ganesh festival, which is also popularly called Vinayaka Chaturthi, is celebrated for 10 days and ends with visarjan on the last day. Its a festival of deep devotion, Modak, and procession. Every year, various shapes, sizes, and designs of Ganpati are brought to their society as pandals, or houses, to celebrate new beginnings, as Ganesha was known as the remover of obstacles and deity of wisdom, prosperity, and intelligence.

Asian Markets Open On Monday

Except for Indian stock exchanges, all other markets in Asia are open for trading. In the early hours of Monday, Asian stocks are trading under pressure due to fear of tighter monetary policy and the probability of a rate hike in the US Federal Reserve's upcoming monetary policy this week. Also, AI stocks faced selloffs that added to the woes.

AI stocks like South Korea's SK Hynix dropped over 5%, Samsung Electronics plunged 4% and Advantest sank 4.7%, while Japan's Kioxia crashed more than 9%.

As per Ajit Mishra, SVP, Research at Religare Broking, the market enters the coming week with a cautious bias, as crude oil prices, geopolitical developments, and the US Federal Reserve's policy outlook remain key determinants of near-term direction. A sustained rise in crude oil prices could further pressure inflation expectations, the rupee, and corporate margins, while a hawkish Fed stance could weigh on foreign flows and emerging-market sentiment.

At the time of writing, the Japanese Nikkei 225 dropped by 1%, South Korea's KOSPI crashed over 2.4%, and Taiwan's TAIEX plunged 1%. Meanwhile, Australia's S&P/ASX200 traded broadly volatile, while China's Shanghai Composite and Hong Kong's Hang Seng traded marginally up.

Wall Street On Monday

Apart from Asian cues, Wall Street will be open as well on September 14. On September 11th, the Dow Jones index ended at 52,573.29, up by 509.19 points or 0.98%. The Nasdaq 100 also recorded buying momentum as it gained by 264.93 points or 0.91% to close at 29,368.44. The tech-heavy index, Nasdaq Composite, rallied by 251.31 points or 0.96% to finish at 26,333.04. Lastly, the S&P 500 index surged by 65.28 points or 0.86% to end at 7,656.98.

However, overall for the week, the Dow Jones crashes 1,011.60 points or 1.9%, making it the biggest loser of the week. The Nasdaq 100 has plunged 171.13 points on week-on-week performance, while its counterpart, the Nasdaq Composite, recorded 254.86 points or 0.96% weekly decline. Also, the S&P 500 index posted a weekly drop of 93.21 points or 1.20%.

What Should Investors Do When Indian Stock Market Opens On Tuesday, September 14, 2026?

As per Mishra, investors should adopt a selective and measured approach, focusing on companies with strong balance sheets, resilient earnings visibility and lower sensitivity to crude oil prices and global demand. Fresh positions should be staggered, with greater emphasis on risk management until the external environment stabilises.

For traders, he added, volatility is likely to remain elevated around the Fed decision, inflation data and geopolitical developments. Positions should therefore be managed through disciplined position sizing and clearly defined stop-losses, while aggressive exposure during sharp market swings should be avoided.

Key Events To Watch Out

The expert has highlighted the following major events that will play a role in defining global market this week.

Globally, developments in the US-Iran conflict and movements in Brent crude will remain critical market drivers.

The coming week will be dominated by the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision and commentary on the future path of interest rates. Investors will closely assess the policy statement and comments from Fed Chair Warsh for indications of the central bank's assessment of inflation, growth and the future rate trajectory.

On the domestic front, August WPI and CPI inflation data, followed by unemployment and balance of trade data, will remain in focus. These releases will provide important insights into inflationary pressures, labour-market conditions and the external sector.

The latest foreign exchange reserves data, due on 18 September, will also be monitored closely amid pressure on the rupee from elevated crude oil prices.
