Muhurat Trading 2026, Samvat 2083: Can you buy mutual funds, gold, silver ETFs during special Diwali session on 8 Nov?

Muhurat Trading is a special one-hour session held on Diwali to mark the start of the new financial year. On November 8, 2026, this session will take place, but it is not a regular trading day. While stock markets will remain closed, many mutual fund houses and commodity exchanges will open for this auspicious occasion. This allows investors to participate in the festivities and potentially kickstart their investments for the new Samvat.
For retail investors, it is important to understand that this is a special session and not a standard trading day. Mutual fund orders placed during this time are usually processed at the closing Net Asset Value (NAV) of the day. Similarly, gold and silver ETFs will be bought and sold at the closing price. SIPs (Systematic Investment Plans) are generally not processed on this day, so investors should ensure their bank accounts are funded beforehand. It is a good time to review portfolios, but one should not make impulsive decisions based on market movements during this short session.
