Muhurat Trading In a significant departure from tradition, India’s leading stock exchanges — NSE and BSE — have decided to conduct Muhurat trading in the afternoon this year, ushering in Samvat 2082 with a new time slot.
Muhurat trading, an age-old Diwali ritual, holds symbolic value for traders and investors who believe that making transactions during this period brings wealth and prosperity throughout the year. The decision to shift the timing is said to align better with operational readiness and festive schedules, while maintaining the cultural essence of the event.
The special session will see participation from institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals, and retail traders alike. Market sentiment is expected to remain upbeat, driven by optimism around festive spending, strong quarterly earnings, and robust economic indicators.
Analysts suggest that the positive energy surrounding the Muhurat session often sets the tone for the year ahead. With Samvat 2082 beginning on a buoyant note, many expect the Indian equity markets to continue their growth trajectory into the new financial cycle.
