Will bulls stay in control during Muhurat trading? Experts decode outlook - Business Standard

Business Standard reports that market experts are assessing whether bullish momentum can persist during Muhurat trading, the special one-hour session held on Diwali that traditionally carries symbolic significance for Indian investors. The headline does not specify the forecasts offered, so the precise views of individual analysts cannot be attributed beyond the framing of the question. The transmission mechanism here is primarily sentiment and positioning: a single holiday session typically has thin liquidity and a low volume base, meaning directional moves can reflect retail flows and short-term risk appetite more than shifts in fundamentals or rate expectations. Broad Indian equity indices and large-cap benchmarks would be the most visible gauges of any move, while sector exposure could diverge depending on which segments attract the bulk of session volume. Traders will likely watch the closing levels of the Nifty and Sensex relative to the prior session, along with upcoming domestic inflation and monetary policy signals, for evidence of whether the holiday-session tone carries into the following trading week.

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.
