Tata Steel spurts 3% in Muhurat trading session post steady Q2 earnings - Business Standard

Tata Steel shares rose about 3% during the Muhurat trading session, a special one-hour exchange session held on Diwali, after the company reported steady second-quarter earnings. The move reflects an earnings-driven re-rating within the metals sector, where investors are pricing in stable realizations and margins rather than a broader commodity rally. Because the session is thin and low-volume, price moves in index heavyweights like Tata Steel can carry outsized weight in the benchmark indices and sentiment readings for the following trading day. Traders will be watching the next regular-session trading for confirmation that the gain holds, along with domestic steel price trends and China's steel output data, which together shape the sector's margin outlook.

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.
