Given a positive integer n and a compact connected Riemann surface X, we prove that the symmetric product Sn(X) admits a Kaehler form of nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvature if and only if genus(X) ≤ 1. If n is greater than or equal to the gonality of X, we prove that Sn(X) does not admit any Kaehler form of nonpositive holomorphic sectional curvature.
