PSX Holidays 2026

Every day the Pakistan Stock Exchange is closed in 2026 — the full official calendar, so you never plan a trade, a settlement or a results watch around a closed market.

Next PSX holiday
Allama Iqbal Day — Monday 9 November 2026

The market is closed this coming Monday. After that, only one 2026 holiday remains: Quaid-e-Azam Day / Christmas on Friday 25 December.

Two overlaps worth knowing: Pakistan Day (23 March) falls on the last day of the Eid-ul-Fitr break, and Youm-e-Takbeer (28 May) falls inside the Eid-ul-Azha break — the market is simply closed across those stretches either way. Eid-ul-Fitr also spans a weekend (Saturday 21 – Monday 23 March), so that break closed only one extra trading day beyond the weekend.

Why the calendar matters

A holiday is not just a day off for the market. Settlement runs on a T+2 cycle through NCCPL, so a closed day pushes settlement dates out — money and shares arrive later than a naive count of calendar days suggests. Book closures for dividends are counted in working days too, and a results-season board meeting scheduled just before a long break can leave a stock untraded on fresh news for three or four days. The long weekends — Eid-ul-Fitr in March, Eid-ul-Azha in May, Ashura in June — are the ones that most often catch out investors who plan by the calendar month instead of the trading calendar. Our daily price updates skip these days automatically: no trading day, no new prices.
