Mumbai, April 18, 2025 – Indian stock markets were closed today for Good Friday, with trading paused on both the BSE and NSE. Investors took a breather after a volatile week influenced by earnings reports and international developments, with trading set to resume on the next business day.
In contrast, Asian markets saw gains as positive economic indicators boosted investor sentiment. Markets in Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong rose, driven by strength in the tech and manufacturing sectors, even as global markets remain cautious ahead of key policy announcements.
