The session
Where the market stands
The Nifty 50 goes into the session after a 0.68% gain in the previous one. The Nifty 50 sits in the lowest fifth of its 52-week range, 13.6% below the high.
Foreign institutions were net sellers of ₹1,462 crore in the cash market on 26 October, and domestic institutions net buyers of ₹2,610 crore. Domestic money absorbed the foreign flow, which is why the index moved less than either side's figure would suggest. Over the last 5 sessions foreign institutions were net sellers of ₹4,160 crore.
Key drivers
Market breadth
19 of 25 sectors advanced. The move was broad, with gains spread across most of the market rather than concentrated in a few sectors. Hotels & Restaurants led and Paints & Building Materials lagged, a spread of 3.2 points between the two ends of the market.
