Stock Market Activity Analyzed: Muhurat Trading 2025
Today, the Indian stock market is participating in a special trading session called Muhurat Trading, which happens every year during Diwali. This isn’t just a regular trading day; it’s a tradition marking the start of the new Hindu calendar year, Vikram Samvat 2082. The BSE, NSE, MCX, and NCDEX are all taking part, making it a significant event for investors.
Key Points
- Muhurat Trading starts October 21st, 1:45 PM to 2:45 PM.
- Vikram Samvat 2082 marks the Hindu New Year’s beginning.
- BSE, NSE, MCX, and NCDEX are actively involved today.
- Asian markets rallied: Nikkei, Hang Seng, and Kospi are up.
- Global cues, including Apple’s rise and US shutdown news, influence trading.
- Investors await key earnings and inflation data reports soon.
The trading session runs from 1:45 PM to 2:45 PM today. It’s expected that the Sensex and Nifty, which are the main measures of the Indian stock market, will start with a positive increase. This is partly because of good news from other markets around the world.
Several Asian markets have been doing well. The Japanese Nikkei index reached a record high thanks to the election of Japan’s first female prime minister, Sanae Takaichi. The Hang Seng index in Hong Kong increased by 1.33%, and the Kospi in South Korea rose by 0.3%.
On Wall Street, the S&P 500 went up by 1.07%, the Nasdaq Composite increased by 1.37%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased slightly by 1.12%. This movement was driven by strong gains in Apple stock and hopes for an end to the ongoing problems with the US government shutting down.
Investors are now waiting to hear about important financial reports from big companies. They are also looking for information about inflation, which can affect how much money people have to spend.
