Indian stock markets are poised for a cautious yet optimistic session on October 6, buoyed by strong gains in key Asian markets, including a sharp rally in Japan’s Nikkei 225 which surged over 4%. Domestic benchmarks Sensex and Nifty closed higher last week, sustaining momentum amidst global volatility and mixed foreign investor activity.
Market Highlights to Watch
Nifty 50 closed Friday at 24,894, up 0.23%, with resistance near 25,000 likely to be a key hurdle for further gains.
Sensex ended the week at 81,207, up 0.28%, supported by strong performances in metals, banking, and PSU sectors.
Foreign portfolio investors have continued to offload Indian equities, but domestic institutional buying has offset some selling pressure.
Key sectors to watch include banking, automobiles, metals, infrastructure, and IT amid ongoing regulatory developments.
Technical indicators suggest range-bound trading until Nifty decisively breaks above the 25,000 level for sustained bullish momentum.
Outlook
While the broader Asian rally adds global tailwinds, investors should remain watchful of earnings announcements and macroeconomic cues influencing short-term volatility. The Indian market’s resilience is supported by strong domestic participation despite foreign fund outflows.
