Market Performance

On October 28, Indian equity markets ended on a muted note, weighed down by profit-booking after recent gains and mixed global cues. The BSE Sensex closed around 84,628.16, while the Nifty 50 settled near 25,936.20, down about 0.18 % and 0.11 % respectively.

Amruta Shinde, Technical and Derivative Analyst at Choice Broking, said, "The session opened with a modest uptick and briefly moved above 26,000 before slipping lower. The Nifty made an intraday low near 25,810 but managed to recover some ground toward the close. Broader market participation remained subdued, with the Midcap and Smallcap indices ending almost flat, indicating a pause in the recent rally.".

She adds that buying interest was mainly seen in the Metal and PSU-Bank indices, both gaining over 1 %. However, Realty, IT, and Consumer-Durables stocks witnessed some profit-taking, capping overall market momentum.
