Muhurat Trading: In or Out?

Muhurat Trading: In or Out?

Thanksgiving Day and the Wall Street. Stock Markets closed. 

Diwali and the Dalal Street. Stock Market closed but.. Not really. 

While the world operates one way, India takes a different route.

While there may be many things that make India stand apart, its integral connection of culture, faith, and optimism of festivals with the usual day-to-day events is as unique as it gets. 

Muhurat trading is one such unique event. 

Diwali symbolizes new beginnings, prosperity, and the triumph of good over evil. This auspicious occasion is translated into a culturally significant event in the stock market. 

What is Muhurat Trading?

Muhurat Trading is a special trading session on the Indian stock market that takes place during the Diwali festival, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. 

For a specific window, you can invest or trade in the Indian stock market on the auspicious day of Diwali, figuratively inviting Goddess Laxmi to your home.
