Muhurat Trading
Muhurat trading is a symbolic session on Diwali marking the start of the new Samvat year, when many traders open new account books. Volumes are small and many investors place token buy orders for good luck.

It is a reminder that markets run on culture as well as economics.
In India
In 2025, muhurat trading ran from 1:45 pm to 2:45 pm on October 21, earlier than the usual evening slot.
