India's benchmark indices jumped on the opening of Muhurat trading, with the Sensex adding 250 points and the Nifty climbing 40 points.
Mumbai’s stock exchanges opened Muhurat trading today, a ceremonial session that marks the beginning of the festive trading season. The BSE Sensex rose by 250 points, while the NSE Nifty advanced 40 points, reflecting investor optimism as the market entered the auspicious period.
Analysts attributed the gains to a combination of positive sentiment surrounding the festive season and expectations of steady corporate earnings. The modest rally also came amid stable global cues, with foreign investors maintaining a neutral stance.
Trading volumes were moderate, typical of the ceremonial opening, but the upward movement set a hopeful tone for the weeks ahead. Market participants will watch upcoming earnings releases and macroeconomic data to gauge whether the early momentum can be sustained.
The BSE and NSE will continue regular trading after the Muhurat session, with the next major market updates expected later in the week.
