What is Muhurat trading?
A Muhurat trading session is held every year by the exchanges on Diwali, during Lakshmi Puja.
Before electronic trading, trading took place in designated trading halls of stock exchanges, accessible only to stockbrokers and their registered assistants. Investors would place orders through brokers, who would then execute the trades in the hall.
On Muhurat trading day, the usual restrictions were relaxed, allowing brokersā clients, friends, and family to witness open-outcry trading in person.
Buying stocks during Muhurat trading is considered auspicious and is believed to bring good fortune for the year ahead.
