Special Muhurat Trading in MCX Will Happen on November 14

The festive season is upon us, and Diwali is just around the corner. As we worship the goddess of wealth, Laxmi, on the day of Diwali, it is considered auspicious to make financial transactions on that day. It is customary for the Indian bourses to organise special trading sessions on the day of Diwali, following the Hindu tradition and sentiment of the investors as they believe making winning deals on Diwali will bring prosperity and wealth.

Following the tradition MCX, Multi Commodity Exchange of India organised special muhurat trading on the day of Diwali. MCX’s mahurat trading session this year will happen on November 14, 2020.
