What is Muhurat trading, and how will stock markets perform in Sunday’s session?
The Indian Express 11 hrs ago·7 Nov 2026, 5:32 am
Muhurat trading is a special one-hour session held on the day of Diwali, considered highly auspicious in Indian culture. It marks the beginning of the new financial year for many traders and is believed to bring good luck. This year, the session will take place on Sunday, October 30, and will be conducted by both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). While it is a symbolic event, it often sets the tone for the upcoming festive season.
For investors, Muhurat trading is more than just tradition; it is a psychological indicator. Historically, the market has shown a positive sentiment during this session, reflecting optimism for the months ahead. However, it is important to remember that this is a short, low-volume event. While it may boost morale, it does not necessarily dictate the broader market trend for the rest of the year. Investors should focus on long-term fundamentals rather than short-term movements.
