PSX to remain closed on August 26 for Eid Milad-un-Nabi

Mettis Link News reported that the Pakistan Stock Exchange will be shut on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, to mark Eid Milad-un-Nabi, also known as the 12th Rabi-ul-Awal. Under the exchange's holiday circular, reference PSX/N-1023 and issued by its Trading and TREC Affairs Department, every trading, clearing and settlement function is halted that day. The notice was signed by Chief Operating Officer Jawad H. Hashmi. Because the closure covers the whole trading day, no equity trades or settlements take place on Wednesday.

The notification, addressed to all TRE Certificate Holders and staff, was also copied to SECP, CDC and NCCPL. Equity sessions return on Thursday, August 27, 2026, once the holiday has passed. Investors will therefore see no session on Wednesday, with the next one scheduled for Thursday.
