  "account": "The Indian stock market will observe a special one-hour Diwali muhurat trading session on Sunday, signifying the inception of the new Hindu financial year, Samvat 2083. Historically, Sensex and Nifty indices have concluded on a positive note during this auspicious occasion, traditionally occurring on Diwali. Over the past decade, Sensex and Nifty have gained gains eight out of ten times during the special muhurat trading session, with the only exceptions being in 2016 and 2017.\n\nLast year, the Indian stock market commenced on a robust note, with Sensex and Nifty indices surging to their 52-week highs, but subsequently retraced most of the gains by the session's end, closing flat. Overall, Sensex gained 63 points to close at 84,426 while Nifty 50 rose 25 points to 25,868. Muhurat trading sessions generally witness low trading volumes as investors execute their symbolic first trades of the new year, a custom believed to usher in prosperity and good fortune.\n\nAnalysts anticipate a cautiously positive broader market outlook for Muhurat Trading 2026, supported by a recent six-session recovery, renewed FII buying, and easing crude prices. Ajit Mishra, SVP of Research at Religare Broking, advises investors to utilize Muhurat Trading to initiate selective positions in fundamentally strong companies rather than chasing momentum. However, global technology-led volatility and geopolitical uncertainties warrant caution.\n\nInternational industrialist Uday Kotak also expressed optimism about the Indian market ahead of the new Hindu financial year. He highlighted that despite rapid changes in the global economy and financial markets, including AI, gold, oil, interest rates, and political dynamics, the Indian stock market appears less expensive than a year ago. Kotak anticipates stabilization of foreign portfolio investments, which currently stand at $700 billion, and expects a correction in investment in AI to positively impact the market.",
  "summary": "The Indian stock market is preparing for a special muhurat trading session this Sunday, marking the start of the new Hindu financial year, Samvat 2083. In the past, both Sensex and Nifty have thrived in eight out of ten muhurat sessions. Analysts predict this year's session may unlock selective investment chances in robust companies, with the overall market trend appearing cautiously optimistic…",
