Karachi: The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has announced revisions to its trading and settlement schedules due to the upcoming Eid-ul-Adha holidays, which will be observed from May 26 to May 28, 2026, as declared by the Government of Pakistan.
According to the revised schedule, the Ready Market transactions for May 25, 2026, previously scheduled for settlement on May 26, have been pushed to May 29, 2026. Transactions originally planned for May 26 will not take place, as it is now designated a non-trading day. May 29 will resume trading with its settlement scheduled for June 1, 2026.
In the Deliverable Futures Contracts (DFC) market for May 2026, the contract closing date has been shifted from May 26 to May 29, with settlements occurring on June 1. Similarly, the Cash Settled Futures Contracts (CSF) and Stock Index Futures Contracts (SIFC) for May 2026 have both seen their closing dates moved to May 29, with settlements to follow on June 1.
According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), these adjustments are necessary to accommodate the national holidays and ensure seamless operations post-celebration. The PSX has indicated that it maintains the right to alter these dates if required and assures that any postponed settlements will occur on the next working day.
Market participants are advised to take note of these changes to avoid any disruptions in their trading activities.
