PTI. October 20, 2024 / 03:40 Indian Standard Time. The stock exchanges announced in individual circulars that a symbolic trading session will take place from 6 PM to 7 PM. Leading exchanges BSE and NSE will host a special ‘Muhurat Trading’ session lasting one hour for Diwali on November 1, which signifies the beginning of the new Samvat 2081. The session also signifies the start of a new Samvat — the Hindu calendar year beginning with Diwali — and it is thought that trading during the ‘Muhurat’ or favorable hour leads to prosperity and financial success for those involved. On Diwali, the market will be closed for regular trading, but there will be a special trading window open for one hour in the evening. The exchanges have stated that the pre-opening session will occur from 5:45 PM to 6:00 PM. Market analysts have noted that Diwali is regarded as a perfect time for new beginnings. It is believed that investors can gain advantages from trading during this session throughout the year. The markets are typically volatile because the trading window lasts just an hour. The emphasis may be more on the gesture rather than on making a profit, they mentioned. Trading will occur simultaneously in several areas, including equity, commodity derivatives, currency derivatives, equity futures and options, and securities lending and borrowing (SLB).
