Diwali Muhurat Trading 2026: Will Nifty and Sensex Extend Winning Streak Today? Check Live Updates For Samvat 2083, Trading Timings, Schedule & Popular Stock Picks
Diwali Muhurat Trading 2026: Dalal Street is all set for its annual date with tradition, optimism and a little market excitement as investors welcome Samvat 2083 on Sunday, November 8.
This week there was a blast at Dalal Street after many years. From Monday to Friday, the stock market showcased a green show due to easing geopolitical tensions. The loss of Trump's Republican Party in the US midterm elections has left investors with positive sentiment, keeping the market high, or at least positive.
At the Indian stock market, after seven consecutive sessions of gains, the big question is whether the Nifty 50, Sensex and Bank Nifty can keep their winning streak alive or whether investors will decide to book some profits.
Scheduled from 2:20 PM to 3:30 PM, the special one-hour session gives investors an opportunity to mark the beginning of the new Samvat with symbolic trades.
With market sentiment running high and several popular stocks on investors' watchlists, all eyes are now on Dalal Street. Will the bulls keep the festive spirit alive this Diwali?
