Diwali Muhurat Trading LIVE: GIFT Nifty Indicates Positive Start To Samvat; SBI, NSDL Shares In Focus

The Muhurat trading session was introduced by Asia's oldest stock exchange, the Bombay Stock Exchange, in 1957. The word ‘Muhurat’ translates to ‘auspicious time’, and the practice stems from the traditional belief that beginning financial activities during an auspicious period ensures prosperity.

Samvat 2081 wasn't perhaps the easiest of years and left a lot to be desired, as far as Indian markets are concerned. However, as we gear up for Samvat 2082, stock market gurus are confident that growth will soon pick up, which in turn, will resonate into higher returns in the domestic stock market.

As Diwali celebrations lighted up homes in India, demand for gold and silver remained strong after touching record highs on Dhanteras. From Delhi to Chennai and Kolkata to Mumbai, prices of these precious metals showed a unique trend influenced by domestic demand and global cues.

State Bank of India, Unimech Aerospace and Manufacturing Ltd. and National Securities Depository Ltd. are some of the stocks that will catch investors' attention on Tuesday.

The NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex are likely to continue their rally in Tuesday's ausipicious muhurat trade session. The Nifty 50 will find first resistance at 25,900 and then at 26,000. The support for the index is at 25,800.

The benchmark indices gained for the fourth straight day with Nifty closing above the 25,800 mark. Nifty 50 ended 0.52% higher at 25,843.15 and Sensex closed 0.49% higher at 84,363.37 on Monday. The Nifty rose over 0.84% during the day to 25,926.20, while the Sensex was up 0.84% to 84,656.56.
