Does muhurat trading indicate the trend of the entire year?
In Muhurat trading, the rise or fall of the market does not guarantee the performance of the next entire year. During this period, trading hours are limited and the trading volume may also be less than on normal days. Therefore, instead of buying shares only on the basis of auspicious time, investors should keep in mind the company’s fundamentals, valuation and their investment potential.
