📝 Wrap
Market Summary — 21 Sept 2026
Markets closed with a cautious bullish bias as Nifty 50 inched up 68 points to 23,414, though breadth remained narrow at 30 advances versus 20 declines. The session revealed selective buying rather than broad-based conviction.
Key movers: ETERNAL surged 2.8% to ₹335.9 on heavy volumes of over 2 crore shares, signalling strong retail and institutional interest in this new-age stock. BHARTIARTL crashed 3.3% to ₹1,830, dragging telecom stocks after recent tariff hike expectations cooled. Reliance gained 1.7% with ₹1,242 Cr turnover, providing crucial index support.
Sector rotation: Defensive pockets ruled. Pharma (+1.16%), Realty (+1.14%) and Healthcare (+1.10%) topped the charts as investors sought shelter. FMCG (+0.95%) joined the safety trade. Metals (-0.61%) cracked on global demand worries, while Adani twins—ADANIPORTS and ADANIENT—fell over 1.5% each on profit-booking.
