Samvat 2082: Although there were only slight increases, benchmark indexes continued to rise throughout the hour-long trading session, which took place from 1:45 to 2:45 pm.
The Muhurat Trading session 2025, the first trading session of Samvat 2082, concluded on October 21 with a somewhat positive finish for benchmark indexes Sensex and Nifty.
During the hour-long trading session, which ran from 1:45 to 2:45 pm, benchmark indexes continued to rise, if little, into the fifth day.
After markets began at a new 52-week high, profit booking dominated the Muhurat Trading session, which was characterized by volatility. While the Nifty dropped 66 points from its intraday peak, the Sensex dropped around 250 points from its peak.
The Nifty ended the day 25 points higher at 25,838.80, while the Sensex ended the day 63 points higher at 84,426, at 2:45 pm. Approximately 152 shares were steady, 898 shares fell, and 2,732 shares increased.
In September, the Donald Trump administration issued a presidential proclamation outlining the exclusions to the contentious $100,000 H-1B visa fee, and Infosys became one of the top Nifty gainers. Employers are now able to file change-of-status requests. The decree only applies to new petitions submitted by foreign nationals.
While the Nifty SmallCap index increased by 0.5%, the Nifty Midcap index increased by 0.1%.
“Results from this year’s monetary and fiscal changes have begun to appear. Sales of cars and white goods in particular have soared in the early part of the holiday season, and if this trend continues, profits growth will be strong at around 8 to 10% in FY 26 and will go up to about 15% in FY 27. The market will rebound in Samvat 2082 to make up for Samvat 2081’s poor performance if this assumption comes true. A potential trade agreement between the US and India could provide the market a boost in the near term, but profits growth will determine the long-term direction, according to VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments Limited.
