BusinessLine 6 hrs ago·8 Nov 2026, 4:49 am
Indian stock and commodity markets will observe a special one-hour trading session today to mark Diwali. This event, known as Muhurat trading, is a traditional and auspicious occasion for investors. The trading window will open at 2:20 pm and close at 3:30 pm, allowing market participants to participate in the festivities.
For investors, this session is often seen as a positive sentiment indicator. It provides an opportunity to book profits or rebalance portfolios during a time of celebration. While volumes are typically lower than regular trading days, the market's participation reflects optimism and can set a tone for the broader market in the coming days.
Investors should keep an eye on the market's overall sentiment during this session. A strong performance could signal continued bullishness, while a lackluster trade might indicate caution. It is a good time to review your holdings and prepare for the post-Diwali trading week.
