Finolex Cables shares rose 14% during the Muhurat Trading session on Diwali 2026, according to the Livemint headline, and the stock is reported to be up 59% year-to-date. The move occurred in a one-hour ceremonial session where liquidity is thin, so price gains can be amplified by a small number of orders rather than broad participation. The transmission channel here is stock-specific re-rating driven by company-level sentiment and sector positioning within Indian cable and wire manufacturing, which is tied to construction, power infrastructure, and capital expenditure cycles. Finolex Cables and other mid-cap electrical and cable names are most directly exposed, with the broader Nifty Smallcap and Midcap indices serving as secondary read-throughs for risk appetite in domestic cyclicals. Traders will watch the regular session that follows Muhurat, particularly whether the Muhurat gain holds at the next full-volume open, and any Indian government infrastructure spending announcements or quarterly volume data from cable makers that could confirm or reverse the re-rating.

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.
