Muhurat Trading 2026: Sensex, Nifty gain 80% of sessions as Samvat 2083 begins
· Business · Economic Times, LiveMint
Indian equities mark the start of Samvat 2083 with a special one-hour muhurat trading session on Sunday. Historically, Sensex and Nifty have ended higher eight out of ten times in the past decade, with the only losses in 2016 and 2017. Last year Sensex rose 63 points to 84,426 and Nifty 50 gained 25 points to 25,868 before closing flat. Analysts caution that while domestic recovery and FII buying support optimism, global tech volatility and geopolitical risks warrant a selective approach.
Why it matters
Investors use the auspicious Diwali session to initiate positions for the new financial year, making it a key ritual for retail and institutional participants alike; the 80% win rate fuels optimism while analysts advise targeting fundamentally strong stocks amid expected volatility.
