📝 Wrap
Market Summary — 12 Oct 2026
Markets turned cautious as Nifty 50 shed 157 points to close at 22,363 — a 0.7% drop with breadth heavily skewed: just 13 stocks advanced against 36 decliners. The mood soured as foreign selling likely continued, though volumes stayed healthy.
Key movers today: ITC crashed 3% to ₹257.9, dragging FMCG into the worst-performing slot (-1.67%). The stock saw massive volume of nearly 1.5 crore shares — a clear exit by institutions, possibly on margin pressure or GST fears in cigarettes. On the flip side, Dr Reddy's rallied 2.7% to ₹1,229, and Bajaj Auto jumped 2.6% to cross ₹10,000 — both bucking the weak trend on strong export Sector rotation watch: Money clearly moved out of defensives (FMCG, healthcare) into cyclicals and media. Media surged 4.6% — likely on ad-spend recovery hopes — while auto and realty held small gains. Pharma offered a safe harbour too.
