US markets trade as normal on Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti. It closes the Bombay Stock Exchange, the National Stock Exchange of India.
Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti 2026 is observed on Friday, October 2, 2026.
What that day looks like
On Friday, October 2, 2026, the Shanghai Stock Exchange, National Stock Exchange of India and Bombay Stock Exchange are set to be closed all day. All other listed venues – the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, Toronto Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange, Australian Securities Exchange, Tokyo Stock Exchange and Hong Kong Exchanges – are scheduled to trade as normal. The Shanghai exchange’s closure reflects its own National Day holiday, not the Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti observance.
