The recent crash in gold price after a record high right around Diwali is largely on the much-anticipated lines, given the significant rally the yellow metal has witnessed in recent times. This comes more as a price correction and while there is a dip, this is temporary for the short term. While in the long run, gold is expected to continue soaring to new heights given the backdrop of global economic triggers.

The investors perceive this as an opportunity and take the “buy the dip” approach to book their profits, using gold as a hedge against inflation. Consumers on the other hand leverage this softening of prices to buy jewellery for occasions like weddings. This rate correction is a positive approach for both classes of buyers, and while internationally the trend may differ, Indian gold-buying thrives on such occasions.

Reports of an imminent trade deal between India and US is doing the rounds in market circles and the market reaction through Nifty implied open confirms this.

Comments from President Trump and responses from PM Modi indicate an early trade deal. The expected deal involves some concessions from both sides. If the reported 15-16 % tariffs on Indian exports to US materialises that would be a big positive for Indian economy and major boost to stock markets.

The market rally which has already begun in the festival season will accelerate enabling the Nifty to set new record highs. Unprecedented record sales during the last few days has the potential to improve corporate earnings. FIIs turning buyers recently and short covering are factors that can fuel the rally. Clearly, it is advantage bulls!

Short-covering has the potential to spike up large caps where there are big short positions. Textile stocks, which bore the brunt of the penal tariffs, are likely to witness big buying.

Opening Bell | Nifty above 26000

Shriram Finance, Tech Mahindra, Titan Company, TCS, Tata Steel were among major gainers on the Nifty, while losers were Max Healthcare, Maruti Suzuki and Apollo Hospitals

Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta

Dalal Street kicked off Samvat 2082 on a jubilant note, with the Sensex and Nifty marking their fifth straight day of gains during the Mahurat trading session. The mood remains buoyant as the U.S. reportedly plans to slash tariffs on Indian imports to just 15–16% — a game-changing move that could supercharge India’s trade competitiveness and exports.

With global sentiment turning supportive, Nifty’s record high of 26,277.35 appears well within reach, and a surge towards the 27,000 mark over the next year looks likely.

The rally, initially fuelled by the RBI’s dovish stance, is broadening out — signalling that happy days are here again. Pharma stocks, particularly Sun Pharma and Laurus Labs, are set to shine on tariff optimism, while earnings from heavyweights like HUL, SBI Life, Dr Reddy’s, and Kotak Bank could keep markets buzzing through the week.

Amruta Shinde, Technical & Derivative Analyst, Choice Broking

The Indian equity markets are expected to open on a positive note today, as indicated by the GIFT Nifty, which was trading around the 26,257 mark in early trades, reflecting an increase of 350 points. This suggests a cautiously optimistic sentiment, even as weak global cues and the absence of strong domestic triggers keep traders vigilant.

Investors are likely to track global market trends, crude oil prices, and institutional flows for further direction.

The Nifty opened with a gap-up during Muhurat trading. The index managed to hold its gains and ended in positive territory, closing above the 25,850 mark with a strong bullish candle. This positive momentum suggests continued strength in the near term. On the downside, immediate support is placed at 25,800, followed by 25,700, while on the upside, resistance is seen at 26,100 and 26,200 levels.

The Bank Nifty showed sustainability above its major support level of 58,000, indicating underlying strength in the financial space. However, if selling pressure emerges and the index falls below 57,500, a correction towards 57,000–56,850 is likely. On the upside, immediate resistance is seen at 58,500, followed by 59,000 and 59,500.

The Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) extended their buying streak for the fifth consecutive session on October 21, as they bought equities worth Rs 96 crore, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) turned net sellers, offloading equities worth over Rs 600 crore on the same day.

In the current environment of heightened volatility and mixed market cues, traders are advised to maintain a cautious “buy-on-dips” approach, particularly when using leverage. Booking partial profits during rallies and maintaining tight trailing stop-losses is recommended to manage risk effectively.

Fresh long positions should be considered only if the Nifty sustains above the 26,200 mark. While the broader market undertone remains cautiously bullish, close monitoring of key technical levels and global developments will be crucial in the sessions ahead.

Devarsh Vakil, Head of Prime Research, HDFC Securities

Wall Street closed lower Wednesday as mixed earnings—led by Netflix's disappointing results—weighed on investor sentiment amid reports that the Trump administration is considering export curbs on U.S. software-dependent goods to China.

The proposed restrictions, spanning products from laptops to jet engines, are being considered in response to Beijing's latest rare earth export controls, marking another escalation in trade tensions between the world's two largest economies.

Tesla's Q3 results, released Thursday, showed profits fell short of expectations despite record EV sales, highlighting automaker pressures from shifting federal policies and rising costs. Apple faced an EU antitrust complaint from civil rights groups over App Store terms.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are heading to Malaysia to meet Chinese officials as trade negotiations reach a critical juncture.

Semiconductor stocks also slumped, intensifying tech sector risk aversion.

Gold tumbled over 5% Wednesday—extending its two-day decline to 6%, the worst since 2013—as traders took profits after record highs.

Crude oil surged more than 5%, reversing recent losses on an unexpected U.S. inventory drawdown and optimism about global demand. Prices extended gains after settlement, rising over $2 per barrel following U.S. sanctions on Russian oil giants Rosneft and Lukoil, though analysts warn that oversupply pressures persist.

The benchmark BSE Sensex ended 62.97 points, or 0.07%, higher at 84,426.34, while the NSE Nifty 50 settled 25.45 points higher in the special Muhurat trading session on 21 October 2025.

As Indian benchmark indices resume full trading on Thursday, October 23, 2025, following the Diwali Muhurat Trading session and Balipratipada holiday, markets may see substantial gains.

India and the United States are nearing a bilateral trade agreement (BTA) that could reduce US tariffs by more than half. The deal may be finalised and announced at this month's ASEAN Summit, expected to be attended by President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Markets are poised to open sharply higher, potentially marking a sixth consecutive session of gains driven by optimism over the US-India trade deal.
