Finolex Cables shares fell about 5% after having rallied roughly 20% during the Muhurat Trading session, the special one-hour trading window held on Diwali, according to the Economic Times. The reversal follows a sharp short-term run-up, suggesting the move reflects profit-taking and positioning after a concentrated burst of buying in a thin, low-volume session rather than a change in the company's fundamentals. Muhurat sessions typically carry wider bid-ask spreads and lower liquidity, which can amplify price swings in individual stocks and make intraday gains less reliable as a signal for subsequent sessions. Traders in cable and electrical-equipment names will watch the next regular-session volume profile and any follow-through in sector peers, along with the company's upcoming quarterly results, as the first real test of whether the holiday rally was sustained demand or a liquidity-driven spike.
Finolex Cables shares fall 5% after rallying 20% during Muhurat Trading session. More upside ahead?
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.
