Diwali 2023: How Sensex performed in last 10 years during Muhurat Trading
On Sunday, leading stock exchanges BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) and NSE (National Stock Exchange) will open for special one-hour trading session on the occasion of Diwali. The session, known as ‘Muhurat Trading’, is a revered tradition, held on Diwali each year.
The special session, which is largely symbolic, includes a 15-minute pre-trading window that opens at 6pm, while the trading itself is done from 6:15pm to 7:15pm.
According to market analysts, the festival of lights is considered an auspicious time to start something new; it is said that by investing during this one hour-window, investors benefit throughout the year. However, as the window is of a very short duration, markets can be volatile.
