Why is stock market closed on weekends?

    Share on

The stock market stays closed on Saturdays for several important reasons. Here' why:

 

1. Liquidity: More buyers and sellers are active during weekdays, which keeps prices fair and trading smooth. On weekends, low trading can cause big price swings.

 

2. System Maintenance: Exchanges need time to fix, update, and maintain their computer systems without disturbing live trading.

 

3. Work-Life Balance: Traders, brokers, and exchange staff need weekends off to rest and stay mentally healthy.

 

4. Traditional Schedule: Stock markets follow the usual Monday-to-Friday workweek, just like most banks and businesses.

 

5. Special Cases: Sometimes, markets open on Saturdays for important events like the Union Budget or system testing for emergencies.

 

Overall, staying closed on Saturdays helps the stock market stay organized, efficient, and safe for everyone.
