Suryaa Business Desk: Domestic stock markets concluded the special one-hour Muhurat trading session on Sunday with marginal losses to mark the beginning of Samvat 2083. During the traditional limited session, indices experienced fluctuations. The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Sensex declined by 0.04 percent to close at 80,999.40 points, while the National Stock Exchange (NSE) Nifty fell by 0.18 percent to settle at 24,986.40 points. Market participants should note that these figures represent the closing levels of Sunday's special session and not current live trading prices.
While retail and institutional investors engaged in traditional buying to mark an auspicious start, some profit-booking occurred toward the end of the session amid international uncertainties. Stability was observed in shares across several sectors, while other segments faced pressure. Financial experts suggest that as regular trading sessions resume following the Diwali celebrations, domestic markets will determine their future direction based on global market signals, foreign institutional investor fund flows, and corporate financial results.
