Muhurat Trading 2024: As Diwali 2024 celebrations unfold, the Indian stock market is preparing for its annual Muhurat Trading session—a special one-hour event that coincides with the Festival of Lights. According to the latest information from Indian stock exchanges, this year’s Muhurat Trading will occur Today (November 1, 2024) from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Additionally, while trading will happen during this hour, modifications to trades will be permitted until 7:10 pm. This makes the Muhurat Trading session a significant opportunity for investors to engage in the market during this auspicious time.

People looking to participate in Muhurat Trading should be aware that all intraday positions will be automatically squared off 15 minutes before the session's close, making it essential to plan carefully for same-day trades.

Why Is The Muhurat Trading Session Important?

In India, stockbrokers regard Diwali as the start of their financial year, and many investors believe that purchasing stocks during this auspicious period invites prosperity for the year ahead. This time also provides traders with an opportunity to diversify their portfolios and open new settlement accounts.

While largely symbolic, Muhurat Trading attracts significant participation, with experienced investors taking the chance to recalibrate their portfolios. However, market fluctuations can be quite volatile due to its brief duration.

As the time approaches, both seasoned investors and newcomers are eagerly looking forward to this festive market event.
