Muhurat Trading 2026 Live Updates: Diwali Muhurat Trading 2026; check NSE, BSE and MCX timings, market outlook and key details

The Economic Times has published live coverage of Diwali Muhurat Trading 2026, a one-hour special session that Indian exchanges traditionally hold on Diwali evening, detailing NSE, BSE and MCX timings along with a market outlook. The session is largely symbolic and ceremonial, marking the start of the Hindu financial year, but it still carries real liquidity and sentiment signals as participants reposition in equities, index derivatives and commodities. Because the window is short and volumes are typically thin, price moves during the session can overstate underlying conviction and often reverse in regular trading the following day. Domestic retail and institutional flows, along with festive-season demand expectations for gold and silver on MCX, are the most relevant transmission channels for traders watching this session. The next catalyst to track is the first regular trading session after the Muhurat window, where opening prices and volumes will indicate whether the sentiment seen during the special session carries forward.

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.
