📝 Wrap
Market Summary — 18 Sept 2026
Markets closed on a cautiously optimistic note, with Nifty 50 edging up 76 points to 23,346. Breadth was nearly balanced at 26 advances versus 24 declines, suggesting selective buying rather than broad euphoria.
The Adani pack stole the show. ADANIPORTS surged nearly 5% to ₹1,824, while ADANIENT jumped 3.3% to cross ₹3,000. Both clocked strong volumes, signalling genuine institutional interest rather than speculative froth. On the flip side, TCS tumbled 3.9% to ₹2,105, dragging IT peers down and making it the day's biggest drag by value.
A clear sector rotation is underway. Metals led with 1.5% gains, followed by media, realty and infra — all domestic economy plays. Meanwhile, IT — the market's perennial favourite — bled 1%, the worst-performing sector. Financials provided stability with HDFCBANK and BAJFINANCE among top gainers, hinting that smart money is betting on credit growth revival.
