Deep dive - the full story

During the special Muhurat Trading 2026 session marking the start of Samvat 2083, the SENSEX registered an increase of 270 points, while the NIFTY opened at 25,070. Buying momentum was led by prominent constituents including Tata Steel, Hindalco, and ONGC, which drove the initial gains across the trading boards. Special trading sessions like Muhurat Trading hold cultural and psychological significance for domestic market participants, often setting an optimistic tone for annual investments.

Historically, positive openings during this auspicious hour reflect strong retail and institutional participation, though broader market trends continue to depend on underlying corporate earnings and macroeconomic fundamentals. Traders and investors should record the opening levels and monitor the performance of leading sectoral stocks to gauge near-term momentum. Keep track of subsequent trading sessions to confirm whether the initial gains translate into sustained volume.

Bottom line: Use festive session momentum as a baseline observation rather than a sole indicator for long-term portfolio allocation.
