    \n
  • FII\/DII flows:<\/strong> foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) turned net buyers during the week of 6\u201310\u00a0Oct, injecting roughly \u20b91\u202f751\u00a0crore into equities after months of net selling. Domestic institutions continued to buy and helped cushion the market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  • Market breadth:<\/strong> the decline was broad based; early trade saw the Sensex drop over 450\u00a0points before recovering part of the loss by the close.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Currency & Commodities:<\/strong> the rupee was steady around \u20b988.69 per US dollar. Brent crude firmed near US$63.66\/bbl, adding pressure to oil\u2011marketing companies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    What moved the market (analysis)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Global trade tension:<\/strong> U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 100\u00a0% tariff on Chinese imports, rekindling trade\u2011war fears and triggering a broad sell\u2011off across Asia. IT stocks fell as investors worried about export\u2011driven earnings; the Nifty IT index slipped ~0.65\u00a0%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Profit\u2011taking:<\/strong> After a strong rally in the prior week (Sensex and Nifty up around 1.6\u00a0%), traders locked in profits, particularly in metal, telecom and consumer sectors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Volatility spike:<\/strong> The jump in India\u00a0VIX signalled heightened nervousness, prompting some rotation into defensives such as pharma and auto.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Resilient pockets:<\/strong> Autos and select financials drew buying interest amid expectations of continued demand and stable domestic policy; this helped Bank\u00a0Nifty remain in the green.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Global cues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • U.S. markets:<\/strong> on Friday the Nasdaq fell ~3.6\u00a0%, the S&P\u00a0500 dropped ~2.7\u00a0%, and the Dow lost ~1.9\u00a0% after Trump\u2019s tariff announcement; U.S. futures recovered slightly as he later softened his tone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Europe:<\/strong> the FTSE, CAC and DAX closed higher by ~0.1\u20130.5\u00a0% on hope of a US\u2013China compromise and strength in miners after Dutch authorities seized control of chipmaker Nexperia, which lifted semiconductor stocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Asia:<\/strong> the Kospi, Shanghai Composite and Hang\u00a0Seng opened sharply lower on Monday; caution prevailed across the region.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Other developments:<\/strong> China\u2019s September exports grew 8.3\u00a0%, beating expectations and providing a cushion to Chinese equities; European regulators\u2019 actions against Chinese tech assets and Middle\u2011East geopolitical developments (Trump declaring \u201cthe war is over\u201d in Israel\u2011Hamas conflict) influenced sentiment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Stocks to watch (next trading day)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        • ITC:<\/strong> showing a bullish reversal; buying opportunity around \u20b9402 with target \u20b9415 and stop\u2011loss at \u20b9395.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Cipla & DLF:<\/strong> positive setups ahead of earnings; considered buy\u2011on\u2011dips candidates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Syngene\u00a0International & Vaibhav\u00a0Global:<\/strong> gaining traction on technical strength.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Corporate updates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Results & earnings:<\/strong> Q2FY26 reporting season begins; major companies such as Reliance Industries, Infosys, Tech\u00a0Mahindra, Wipro, HDFC\u00a0Bank, IRFC, Nestl\u00e9 India, HCL\u00a0Technologies<\/strong> and IREDA<\/strong> are scheduled to announce quarterly numbers this week.

          • IPOs:<\/strong> Tata\u00a0Capital<\/strong> and LG\u00a0Electronics India<\/strong> are set to debut on the exchanges; their performance will be watched closely as a barometer for the IPO market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Policy measures:<\/strong> The Reserve Bank of India left the repo rate unchanged at 5.50\u00a0% and maintained a neutral stance, while implementing measures to ease credit flow; new GST reforms reduced taxes on essentials, benefiting consumer sectors; SEBI\u2019s new block\u2011deal regulations aim to enhance transparency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Technical outlook & tone for the next trading day (14 Oct 2025)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Nifty\u00a050:<\/strong> the index holds above its short\u2011term support of 25\u202f000; immediate resistance lies in the 25\u202f400\u201325\u202f450 zone. A convincing move above 25\u202f450 could open the way to 25\u202f600\u201325\u202f670, whereas a fall below 25\u202f000 may test 24\u202f800.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Sensex:<\/strong> key support at 82\u202f000\u201381\u202f900 and resistance at 82\u202f700\u201382\u202f900. Sustaining above 82\u202f700 could target 83\u202f100\u201383\u202f700; a breach below 81\u202f900 may prompt further downside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Bank\u00a0Nifty:<\/strong> the index has immediate support near 56\u202f000\u201355\u202f900; resistance around 57\u202f200, with potential upside to 58\u202f000 if momentum continues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Expected tone:<\/strong> given heightened global uncertainty and elevated volatility, the market is likely to open cautiously. However, underlying domestic sentiment remains constructive thanks to improving FII flows, supportive macro data and the onset of earnings season. Short\u2011term traders should remain nimble, use dips toward support zones as buying opportunities, and watch global headlines for cues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
