NSE and BSE Muhurat Trading 2021

Muhurat Trading 2021: Both the Stock exchanges NSE and BSE will hold a special, one-hour-long trading session to mark the occasion of Diwali 2021. This special session is meant to give a window to investors to make trades on the auspicious day of Diwali, which marks the onset of a new year according to the Hindu calendar, also known as the Vikrant Samvat. The special Muhurat trading session is scheduled at the most auspicious hour of the day. 

Just like a normal trading session, a Muhurat trading session also includes the following:

Pre-Open Session: During this period, the bourses arrive at the ideal opening price for listed stocks for the upcoming session. This process assumes significance as it is aimed at stabilizing heavy volatility due to news developments occurring outside market hours.

Normal Market Session: This is the session in which actual trading takes place.

Closing Session: All orders placed at the closing price are settled during this session. 

NSE BSE

This year 2021, NSE Muhurat Trading is on Thursday, 4 November 2021 at 18:15 pm (Diwali - Laxmi Pujan). 

Muhurat Trading Session: 18:15 to 19:15 pm.

 As we all know, an index fund is a type of mutual fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF) with a portfolio constructed to match or track the components of a financial market index, such as the Nifty 50 Index.
