Indian exchanges open for Diwali trading
The BSE and NSE scheduled a special Muhurat trading session for Diwali, with the main equities window beginning at 2:20pm. The supplied RSS reports differed on whether it would end at 3:15pm or 3:30pm; a pre-open session was listed from 2:05pm. MCX trading was also scheduled for the afternoon.
Why it matters
The ceremonial session is a closely watched annual market event, though traders should verify the closing time with the exchanges.
