📝 Wrap
Market Summary — 23 Oct 2026
The mood turned cautious as Nifty 50 slipped 87 points to close at 22,600. Bears dominated with 36 stocks falling against just 14 gainers — a weak breadth that signals broad-based selling pressure.
Eternal (formerly Zomato) was the standout, surging 4.25% to ₹317 on heavy volumes of 5.5 crore shares. The food delivery giant's resilience hints at strong Q2 expectations. On the flip side, Shriram Finance crashed nearly 4% to ₹865, leading the NBFC rout as rate worries spooked financials.
Metals bore the brunt — JSW Steel and Tata Steel both shed ~2.7% each on China demand fears and falling global prices. Even the "best" sector, Consumption, closed in the red at -0.25%, showing there was nowhere to hide today. IT and Private Banks followed suit, suggesting FII outflows may be creeping back.
With only defensives like Apollo Hospitals and Asian Paints offering mild relief, this was a day for sitting tight rather than chasing.
