Diwali Muhurat Trading Stock Picks 2026 under ₹200: Start Samvat 2083 with Ashok Leyland, Swiggy, PNB | By Anand Rathi

A Livemint article published under the headline "Diwali Muhurat Trading Stock Picks 2026 under ₹200" recommends Ashok Leyland, Swiggy and Punjab National Bank as sub-₹200 equities for the traditional Muhurat trading session that marks the start of Samvat 2083. The piece is attributed to brokerage Anand Rathi and frames the picks around the symbolic one-hour session rather than any stated fundamental change. The transmission to broader markets is mainly through retail sentiment and flows: the Muhurat window typically draws elevated retail participation and short-term speculative buying in mid- and low-priced large-cap and mid-cap names, which can produce temporary volume spikes that tend to fade in subsequent sessions. Ashok Leyland, a commercial vehicle maker, is sensitive to freight demand and interest-rate expectations, Swiggy to consumer discretionary spending and its path to profitability, and PNB to credit growth, net interest margins and asset quality trends in public-sector banking.

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.

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.
