Anand Rathi has highlighted a set of stocks, including HDFC AMC, SBI, and Tech Mahindra, that it expects could gain as much as 35% in the Diwali 2026 Muhurat trading session and beyond, marking the start of Samvat 2083. Muhurat sessions are typically short, symbolic trading windows held on Diwali evening, and their price action is often driven more by sentiment, liquidity, and flows than by fundamental repricing. The transmission mechanism here is largely retail and domestic institutional risk appetite, which tends to concentrate in large-cap financials and index heavyweights during the festive period. Banking and asset-management names such as SBI and HDFC AMC are most sensitive to domestic flow dynamics, while Tech Mahindra's exposure is tied more to global IT spending and dollar-rupee moves. Traders should watch the Nifty 50 and Sensex closing levels on the Muhurat session and the subsequent first full trading day, along with FII and DII flow data, to judge whether the festive sentiment translates into sustained participation.

Why this matters for traders
HIGH-impact news is typically a market-moving event with multi-pip or multi-percent intraday reactions. Examples include central bank rate decisions, major CPI/NFP releases, geopolitical shocks, mega-cap earnings beats/misses, and regulatory announcements. Traders typically position-reduce or hedge ahead of scheduled HIGH-impact events, and follow the wire in real time to react to unscheduled ones (war headlines, central-bank emergency statements, surprise corporate actions). The Trading News Terminal squawk box reads every HIGH-impact headline aloud the moment it hits the wire — so active traders don't have to stare at the feed.
How active traders react to headlines like this
Active traders typically follow a three-step workflow when a market-moving headline hits the wire: (1) read the headline on the terminal or hear it on the squawk box; (2) assess whether the news is already priced in (by checking intraday price action in the seconds before) or whether it's genuinely new information; (3) act — either entering a breakout position, fading an overreaction, or tightening stops on existing trades. Trading News Terminal's Pro plan delivers wire-grade headlines within seconds of the source, with automatic audio squawk on every HIGH-impact event, so the read-assess-act cycle never waits on a refresh button.
