Sensex, Nifty, currency, commodity markets closed on account of Ganesh Chaturthi

Domestic equity markets are shut on Thursday on account of Ganesh Chaturthi. As a result, there will be no trading in the equity market.

The forex and commodity futures markets will also not conduct any trading. Commodity markets including metal, oil etc are also closed.

Reversing a two-day meltdown, equity indices staged a smart pullback on Wednesday as investors scooped up recently-hammered FMCG, metal and capital goods stocks amid a recovery in the rupee.


Sentiment also got a boost after the government said all steps will be taken to ensure the rupee does not depreciate to “unreasonable levels”, amid reports that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will take stock of the economic situation over the weekend.

The BSE Sensex closed 304.83 points up at 37,717.96 on Wednesday, while NSE Nifty gained 82.40 points to end at 11,369.90.

The rupee in the previous trading session rebounded from the historic low of 72.91 to end higher by 51 paise at 72.18 against the dollar.
