The National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) have announced a special 'Muhurat' trading session on Sunday, November 8, 2026.

The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) will also participate, with its trading window open from 2:20 pm to 3:30 pm.
For investors, this session is a traditional ritual believed to bring good fortune for the upcoming financial year. It provides a brief opportunity to buy or sell stocks and commodities. While the trading volume is expected to be lower than on normal days, the event is viewed as a positive sentiment indicator. Investors should note that this is a special, short-duration session and not a regular trading day.
