Stock Market Today Live Updates Updated on: Posted By: Stock Market Live Update Enroll Now to Learn Stock Market Trading Indian equities showed two very different faces on Monday, 9 November 2026, the first regular session after Diwali’s Muhurat trading. The Nifty 50 spent the day hovering around 25,000, barely changed, while the Nifty Bank index jumped about 1.25% to roughly 59,584 as public-sector banks led the gains. Information technology moved the other way, with Nifty IT down about 1.6%, and pharma and healthcare stocks found buyers. The headline index hid a lot of movement underneath. Here is what drove the session and what traders may want to watch next. Stock Market Snapshot Index Level Change % Change Nifty 50 25,000.10 +13.70 +0.05% BSE Sensex 81,054.74 +55.34 +0.07% Nifty Bank 59,584.45 +733.80 +1.25% Nifty IT 32,351.60 -518.05 -1.58% Nifty Auto 27,864.35 +21.80 +0.08% These are late-session readings from Monday’s trade, so final closing values may differ slightly. At the index level the day looked quiet: the Nifty rose just 0.05% and the Sensex 0.07%. Underneath, banking added about 1.25% while technology lost about 1.6%, and the two largely cancelled each other out in the headline numbers. It is also worth noting that the Nifty is sitting almost exactly on the round 25,000 mark, a level traders often use as a reference point. What Moved the Stock Market Today? 1. Banks led from the front The Nifty Bank index rose about 1.25% to around 59,584, a gain of roughly 734 points, making it the standout index of the session. Moneycontrol’s market coverage said public-sector banks led the advance, with SBI up about 1.7%. Among private lenders, HDFC Bank gained about 1.7% to near ₹798 and ICICI Bank about 1% to near ₹1,586. Because banks carry a heavy weight in the Nifty, their strength offset weakness elsewhere. 2. IT slipped and breadth stayed soft Nifty IT fell about 1.6% to 32,351.60, and the BSE Teck index lost roughly 1.4%. The research we reviewed did not name a specific trigger for the IT weakness, so we are not assigning one. Breadth was also soft: on the NSE, about 1,376 stocks advanced while 1,897 declined, meaning more shares fell than rose even though the Nifty was marginally higher. 3. A calmer global and geopolitical tone Moneycontrol’s pre-market coverage noted that Gift Nifty pointed to an upbeat opening and that Brent crude had slipped under $100 a barrel. Separately, US President Donald Trump was reported to have called fresh US strikes on Iran very unlikely while nuclear negotiations continue. India imports most of its oil, so cooler crude and fewer geopolitical shocks are generally helpful for sentiment, although we cannot say how much of today’s move they explain. Key Market Developments Banks led, with PSU lenders in front. Beyond the index move, derivatives data showed HDFC Bank with a long build-up late in the session: its price rose about 1.7% while open interest increased roughly 4.9%. A rising price alongside rising open interest can point to fresh long positions, although it does not tell us whether those positions will work out. ICICI Bank and Indian Bank also featured on the long build-up list, with Indian Bank up about 4%. Pharma and healthcare found buyers. Moneycontrol reported the pharma index up about 1.5%, while the BSE Healthcare index gained roughly 1%. Divi’s Laboratories climbed around 4% after its Q2 results, and the brokerages cited in that coverage saw upside of up to 12%. Those are brokerage views, not certainties. Q2 results drew sharp, mixed reactions. Data Patterns rose about 9% even though its Q2 numbers were weak, with management saying it is confident of meeting its FY27 targets. Honasa Consumer, the parent of Mamaearth, gained about 5%. On the other side, Hindalco fell roughly 3% after its results, even though Moneycontrol Research described its Q2 profit as a record while flagging a softer second half. Voltas dropped nearly 4% intraday before trimming losses, with brokerages flagging margin risks. A share’s reaction depends on expectations, not just on headline profit. Gold financiers rose with bullion. Muthoot Finance and Manappuram Finance gained by up to about 3% as gold prices rebounded, according to Moneycontrol. Gold-loan lenders often move with the metal because gold secures their loans. IIFL Finance is on the radar. Moneycontrol reported that Blackstone is in talks for about a 15% stake in IIFL Finance in a deal worth roughly $500–600 million, with Advent also said to be in the fray. These are reported discussions, not a confirmed transaction. Stocks and Sectors in Focus Sector / Stock Move What stood out Nifty Bank +1.2% PSU banks led; SBI up about 1.7%. Pharma / Healthcare +1.0% to +1.5% Divi’s Laboratories up about 4% after Q2 results. Nifty Auto +0.1% Largely flat. BSE FMCG -0.6% Mild decline. BSE Metals -0.6% Hindalco down about 3% after Q2; Tata Steel down about 2.4%. BSE Teck -1.4% Moved lower alongside IT. Nifty IT -1.6% Largest decline among the indices tracked here. Banks and healthcare did the lifting while IT, metals and FMCG pulled the other way. The sector figures come from tables captured at slightly different moments in the session, so small differences from the final close are possible. FII/FPI and DII Activity Date FII/FPI Net (₹ crore) DII Net (₹ crore) 6 November 2026 +13,749.82 -5,968.70 8 November 2026 (Muhurat session) -0.25 -700.31 Only net figures were available, so buy and sell values are not shown. On 6 November, FIIs were net buyers of about ₹13,750 crore while DIIs were net sellers of about ₹5,969 crore. In the 8 November Muhurat session, FII activity was close to flat and DIIs were net sellers of roughly ₹700 crore. The 6 November foreign figure is unusually large, so it is worth confirming against official NSE and SEBI data before relying on it. Flow data for 9 November was not part of the research we reviewed. FIIs are overseas institutions such as global funds, while DIIs are domestic institutions such as mutual

Stock Market Today Live Updates Stock Market Today: Nifty Climbs Back Above 22,500 as IT Stocks Take the Lead Updated on:October 13, 2026 Posted By: Nitin Krishan Stock Market Live Update Enroll Now to Learn Stock Market Trading Indian equities had a firm session on 13 October 2026. The Nifty 50 pushed back above 22,500, and the Sensex gained roughly 550 points. The strength came mostly from one corner of the market: information technology. A strong earnings report from HCL Technologies set off a broad rally in IT shares, while several other sectors, including capital goods and healthcare, ended on the wrong side of the tape. It was a rally with a clear leader and a lot of stocks left behind. Stock Market Snapshot Index Level Change % Change Nifty 50 22,530.40 +167.05 +0.75% BSE Sensex 72,472.64 +547.96 +0.76% Nifty Bank 55,029.80 +111.80 +0.20% Nifty IT 29,543.05 +1,193.45 +4.21% Nifty Auto 25,186.10 +101.70 +0.41% The Nifty’s gain is a welcome change in tone. Last week’s rise ended an eight-week losing streak, and today’s move kept that recovery going. Even so, the index is still roughly 15% below its January peak of about 26,370, so this is a rebound inside a weak year, not a clean breakout. What Moved the Stock Market Today? 1. HCL Tech’s earnings lit up the IT pack The biggest driver was HCL Technologies’ second-quarter report, which analysts described as strong, with AI-related business gaining traction. The stock jumped more than 7%, and the rest of the sector followed. TCS gained about 5.9%, Infosys about 2.8%, Tech Mahindra over 4% and KPIT Technologies about 6.5%. Together they pushed Nifty IT up by more than 4%, which did most of the work in lifting the headline index. 2. A calmer volatility reading India VIX, the market’s fear gauge, eased by about 6%. A falling VIX usually means traders are paying less for downside protection, which helps explain why dip-buying looked more confident than in recent weeks. 3. A narrow rally, not a broad one On the NSE, roughly 1,349 stocks advanced while about 1,855 declined. More stocks fell than rose even as the index went up, so the gains were concentrated in large IT names. Key Market Developments A global AI selloff weighed on tech-adjacent stocks. Economic Times Markets reported that remarks from Broadcom’s CEO helped trigger a sharp selloff in AI-linked shares globally. In India, smaller AI-themed names such as E2E Networks and Hitachi Energy India slipped by as much as 5%, even as the large-cap IT firms rallied. Bandhan Bank surged. The stock rose about 7% after reports that Abu Dhabi’s International Holding Company (IHC) was exploring a stake purchase from the bank’s promoter group. It was among the top gainers in the F&O segment. RBL Bank slid. The lender fell roughly 7.6% following its Q2 results and was one of the most actively traded stocks by value. Polycab dropped. The cable maker fell as much as 5% after the NSE said it would exclude the company from the futures and options segment. The rupee recovered. Economic Times Markets also covered the rupee’s comeback and the steps the RBI is reportedly taking to support it, which added to the calmer tone in the afternoon. Stocks and Sectors in Focus Sector / Stock Move What stood out Nifty IT +4.2% HCL Tech’s results triggered a sector-wide rally. BSE FMCG +0.8% Defensive buying added support. BSE Metals +0.6% Modest gains in a mixed market. Nifty Auto +0.4% Steady, with no standout move. Nifty Bank +0.2% Marginal gains. BSE Healthcare -0.9% Selling pressure through the session. BSE Capital Goods -0.9% Weakest of the major sector indices. Leadership came from IT, while capital goods and healthcare held the market back. Technical Market Insight Index Support Resistance Observation Nifty 50 22,500 / 22,000 22,650 / 23,000 Reclaimed 22,500, a level it had lost recently. A sustained hold above it keeps the recovery intact. Nifty Bank 55,000 (psychological) To be confirmed from chart data Trading near 55,000 with modest gains, lagging the broader index. For the Nifty, 22,500 is now the line to watch. The 2026 intraday low sits near 22,183, so 22,000 is the broader floor if the index loses ground. On the upside, 22,650 is the first hurdle and 23,000 the next round-number test. What Traders Should Watch Next Whether IT leadership broadens. The rally needs support from banks and industrials to be convincing. Watch whether breadth improves from today’s negative reading. More Q2 earnings. TCS goes ex-dividend on 14 October, and more results are due through the week. IPO activity. HD Fire Protect, Ravita Engineering and Vaibhav Vyapaar open for subscription from 13 October, and Tonbo Imaging’s issue opens on 15 October. Global cues. The AI selloff, US bond yields and crude oil prices could swing sentiment quickly. Trading Concept: Support and Resistance Support and resistance are price zones where buyers or sellers have repeatedly stepped in. Support is where falling prices tend to find buyers. Resistance is where rising prices tend to meet sellers. Today’s Nifty is a good example: the 22,500 mark had been lost recently, and the index’s ability to reclaim it matters because traders watch that kind of level closely. A close above it is a stronger signal than a brief intraday poke through. Reading these zones well takes practice with price action and volume.

Stock Market Today Live Updates Stock Market Today: Sensex Falls 1,045 Points as Oil Crosses $104 – 8 October 2026 Updated on:October 8, 2026 Posted By: himanshu8450@gmail.com Stock Market Live Update Enroll Now to Learn Stock Market Trading Indian equities had a rough Thursday, 8 October 2026. The Sensex ended 1,045 points lower at 71,593 and the Nifty 50 settled at 22,232, down 1.64%, based on closing data published on the NSE and BSE websites. Selling got heavier as the session went on, and the Nifty briefly touched its lowest level of the year. Three things seemed to be pulling in the same direction: Brent crude moving above $104 a barrel, the market’s continued reaction to the RBI’s rate hike and tighter stance, and cautious global cues. For learners, it is a good case study in how oil prices, interest rates and currency pressure can reach the stock market at the same time. If these ideas are new to you, our Stock Market Course for Beginners explains them step by step. Stock Market Snapshot Index Close Change % Change Sensex 71,593.24 −1,045.46 −1.44% Nifty 50 22,231.80 −371.25 −1.64% Nifty Bank 54,515.05 −540.50 −0.98% Nifty Midcap 57,882.50 −1,500.10 −2.53% Closing figures from market reports on 8 October 2026. Official index data is available on the NSE and BSE websites. The Nifty’s intraday low was 22,179.90, which market reports described as a 2026 low. The India VIX, the market’s volatility gauge, rose more than 10% to 15.33; official volatility data is published by the NSE. The combined market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies fell by roughly ₹10 lakh crore over the day, according to live market coverage, and the BSE publishes official market-cap data What Moved the Stock Market Today? 1. Crude oil climbed above $104 Brent crude gained about 4% to cross $104 a barrel, with a day’s high of $104.09 reported amid ongoing Middle East supply worries. India imports most of the oil it consumes, so a sustained rise in crude can feed into imported inflation and raise input costs for businesses. That is why oil tends to be watched closely by Indian traders, and market reports listed it among the main reasons for the weak mood. 2. The RBI’s hawkish turn is still being digested On Wednesday the RBI raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50%, and changed its stance from “neutral” to “calibrated tightening”. Market commentary described the move as unanimous and the first hike in nearly four years. Markets tend to react to the stance as much as to the rate itself, since it hints at what may come next. Higher borrowing costs matter most for rate-sensitive areas such as realty, and Wednesday’s session had already seen metals and realty under pressure. 3. Rupee weakness and global yields The rupee traded around 96.8 per dollar during the day, close to its record low of 96.96 set in May, according to market commentary. A weaker rupee raises the cost of imports such as crude. Overseas, US stocks had closed lower on Wednesday, and US bond yields remained elevated. Market reports also cited continued foreign fund outflows as a source of pressure, though no outflow figures were in the material we reviewed, so we have not quoted any. Official institutional trading data can be checked on the NSE website. Key Market Developments Broad-based selling, midcaps and smallcaps hit harder Every sectoral index closed in the red, based on index data tracked on the NSE. The Nifty Metal index fell about 3.5%, the sharpest drop, followed by Nifty Realty and Nifty Oil & Gas. The Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 each lost more than 2%, which means the selling was not limited to large caps. Only three of the 30 Sensex stocks ended higher: Tech Mahindra, Axis Bank and Infosys. PSU stocks touch 52-week lows Market reports said 13 central public sector enterprise (CPSE) stocks, including ONGC, NTPC, BDL, BEL and IOC, touched 52-week lows during the session. Price histories for each stock can be checked on the BSE website. This shows how widespread the weakness was, reaching beyond the headline indices. Rate outlook remains in focus Some economists expect another 25-basis-point hike at the RBI’s next monetary policy decision on 4 December, according to market coverage. This is an economists’ expectation and not an RBI commitment, but it helps explain why rate-sensitive stocks are being watched closely. Stocks and Sectors in Focus Stock / Sector Movement Key Development Nifty Metal About −3.5% Worst-performing sectoral index of the day Nifty Realty Sharply lower Among the biggest sector laggards; sensitive to borrowing costs Nifty Oil & Gas Sharply lower Third-weakest sector as crude climbed Adani Enterprises, JSW Steel Top Nifty laggards Led the losses among Nifty constituents ITC, IndiGo, Power Grid, BEL Down over 3% Heaviest losers within the Sensex Infosys, Axis Bank, Tech Mahindra Marginal gains Among the few Sensex stocks to close in the green Nifty IT −0.08% Nearly flat; held up better than most sectors Technical Market Insight The technical views below come from outside analysts and are quoted here for educational discussion only. They are not Delhi Trading Academy recommendations. Index Key Support Key Resistance Observation Nifty 50 22,100, then 21,950 22,350–22,400 Trading below key moving averages; bearish bias per analyst view According to one senior technical analyst, Nifty formed a large bearish candle on the daily chart and recorded its lowest daily close since April 2025. The analyst noted that the index sat below all key moving averages and that the daily RSI was in a “super bearish” zone under the RSI range-shift framework. In this view, the 22,350–22,400 area is the immediate hurdle, and a sustained move above 22,400 would be needed to ease the downside pressure. In a separate pre-market note, a derivatives and technical research analyst had marked the 22,800 level as a pivot and the 22,180 area, near the 52-week low, as an important downside reference. The Nifty reached roughly that zone during the session. From an educational

Stock Market Today : NSE, BSE Closed as Nifty Ends Eighth Weekly Fall Near 22,422 Updated on:October 2, 2026 Posted By: Nitin Krishan Indian markets opened October 2026 on a weak note. At 10:50 AM IST, Nifty 50 fell 0.29% to 22,555 and Sensex slipped 0.08% to 72,423. Auto stocks declined 3.2%, while IT and Bank gained 1.8% and 0.6%, respectively. FIIs sold ₹10,148 crore, while DIIs bought ₹11,272 crore on September 30. Indian stock exchanges are closed today, Friday, 2 October 2026, on account of Gandhi Jayanti. Trading will resume on Monday, 5 October 2026. In the previous trading session on Thursday, 1 October, the Nifty 50 declined 0.88% to close at 22,421.95, while the Sensex fell 0.79% to 71,909.70. The Nifty continued its weak trend and recorded its eighth consecutive weekly decline. With markets closed today, traders and investors can use the holiday to review the week’s market performance and understand the key factors that could influence trading when the exchanges reopen on Monday. Stock Market Snapshot (Last Session: 1 October 2026) Index Close Change % Change Nifty 50 22,421.95 -198.50 -0.88% Sensex 71,909.70 -570.59 -0.79% Nifty Bank 54,450.75 -182.30 -0.33% Nifty IT 28,304.70 +599.90 +2.17% Nifty Auto 25,384.95 -909.00 -3.46% What Moved the Market This Week? Foreign Institutional Selling Foreign institutional investors were net sellers of approximately ₹9,484 crore on 1 October. Domestic institutional investors, meanwhile, were net buyers of around ₹10,042 crore. Domestic institutional buying provided some support to the market, but continued foreign selling remained an important factor behind the broader weakness. Crude Oil and Bond Yields Brent crude was trading near $103 a barrel, while US bond yields moved higher following the previous US trading session. Higher crude prices can be significant for the Indian economy because of its dependence on imported oil. A sustained rise in crude prices can influence inflation expectations, the rupee and corporate margins. Bond yields are another factor traders monitor because changes in global yields can affect capital flows and overall market sentiment. Eighth Consecutive Weekly Fall The Nifty 50 ended another week in negative territory, extending its losing streak to eight consecutive weeks. The extended decline highlights continued selling pressure in the market. However, a prolonged losing streak by itself does not indicate when the trend will reverse. For traders learning technical analysis, this is also an example of why market trends should be studied through price action, support and resistance levels, volume and other indicators rather than through a single market statistic. Key Market Developments IT Stocks Rise Despite Broader Market Weakness The Nifty IT index gained 2.17% on 1 October. Mphasis, Coforge and Infosys were among the notable gainers in the sector. The sector’s positive performance stood out against the broader market decline. However, a single-day rise does not by itself establish a change in the longer-term trend. Auto Stocks Decline The Nifty Auto index fell 3.46% during the session. Monthly sales numbers weighed on some auto stocks, contributing to the sector’s weakness. Traders generally monitor monthly sales data alongside broader demand trends, company performance and market sentiment. Kotak Mahindra Bank Gains After CEO Appointment Kotak Mahindra Bank gained more than 3% during the session after Anup Kumar Saha was named Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. The stock’s movement showed how company-specific developments can influence individual stocks even when the broader market is under pressure. Hospital Stocks Remain Under Pressure Hospital stocks were among the weaker areas of the market amid concerns related to drug-pricing regulation. Sector-specific regulatory developments can affect investor expectations and therefore remain important factors for traders following individual industries. Stocks and Sectors in Focus Stock/Sector Movement on 1 October Key Development Nifty IT +2.17% IT stocks led the sector’s gains Nifty Auto -3.46% Monthly sales data weighed on the sector Kotak Mahindra Bank Over +3% intraday New MD and CEO appointed BSE Metals -2.18% Broad sectoral weakness Hospital Stocks Lower Concerns over drug-pricing regulation What Traders Should Watch on Monday Trading will resume on Monday, 5 October 2026. Traders may monitor several factors when the market reopens. Global Market Cues Crude oil prices and US bond yields could influence market sentiment after the holiday break. Any significant movement in global markets during the closure could also be reflected in domestic trading. FII and DII Activity Foreign and domestic institutional flows will remain important indicators. Traders can monitor whether foreign selling continues and whether domestic institutional buying provides support. Interest Rate Expectations Interest-rate expectations are another factor that can influence equities, bonds and currency markets. Market participants should distinguish between individual institutional views and official policy decisions. Corporate Actions and Events Traders should also check the upcoming corporate-action calendar before taking positions. Relevant events scheduled around 5 October include an ex-dividend date and several IPO closing dates. Trading Concept: Understanding Market Breadth Market breadth measures the number of stocks that are advancing compared with the number of stocks that are declining. On 1 October, the NSE recorded approximately 729 advancing stocks against 2,556 declining stocks. This indicates that market weakness was broad rather than being limited to a small number of large stocks. For traders, breadth can provide additional context when analysing a market move. It is generally considered alongside price action, trading volume and major index levels rather than being used as a standalone indicator.
