Muhurat Trading 2026 prediction today for Nifty 50, Sensex, Bank Nifty on Diwali 2026 special session

Livemint has published a prediction piece previewing the Muhurat trading session on Diwali 2026, a symbolic one-hour window in which Indian exchanges, the NSE and BSE, typically run a special session that is traditionally treated as an auspicious start to the new financial year. The transmission mechanism here is largely sentiment and positioning rather than fundamentals: the session is short, thinly traded relative to regular sessions, and often reflects retail participation and expectations of a "good start" in the broader Nifty 50, Sensex and Bank Nifty complex. Bank Nifty, with its heavy weighting in large private and public-sector lenders, tends to be the most sensitive index in such sessions because it carries high beta to domestic risk appetite and to rate expectations. Traders should watch the opening and closing prints in the Nifty 50 and Sensex, the closing level of Bank Nifty against its prior-day close, and the volume profile compared with a typical session, since a thin-volume move carries limited information about the subsequent trend. The next concrete reference point is the first regular trading session after the Muhurat window, along with any scheduled RBI policy c

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.
