Nifty & Sensex — 22 Oct 2026
Pre-Market
Section titled “Pre-Market”Markets Data
Section titled “Markets Data”Markets are positioned for a bullish session with overnight gains in US indices and falling dollar index supporting risk assets. Bond yields retreating from recent highs may ease pressure on equities, while institutional buying provides fundamental support. However, the rupee's weakness and oil price surge could cap upside. Trading is expected to remain in the lower range of recent levels with normal conviction for long positions.

Both benchmark indices and banking stocks saw declines exceeding one percent, reflecting broad-based selling pressure.
