India's stock market holds its special one-hour Muhurat trading session on Sunday, 8 November 2026, with NDTV reporting that the recent winning streak is likely to carry into the Diwali ritual. According to NDTV, the Sensex and Nifty enter the session after seven consecutive days of gains, with the Nifty above the 25,000 mark. The Economic Times reports that Gift Nifty is signalling a positive start.
The session is tied to Diwali and is treated by many market participants as an auspicious occasion for placing trades. NDTV cautions that the Muhurat session is a ritual rather than an investment strategy, and its coverage notes that experts favour selective buying while warning against aggressive bets, according to BFSI Economic Times.
Watch whether the positive Gift Nifty signal holds through the single hour of trading, and whether the seven-day rally extends.
