Nifty, Sensex: History favours stock market comeback in October; stocks to watch
BSE is in focus.
28 Sept 2026 · Business Today Mkts
October 2022 saw the two indices soaring. Nifty gained 5.37 per cent while Sensex 5.78 per cent. India VIX, meanwhile, plunged 20.68 per cent for the month.
The analysis
BSE reported movement of 5.37%, 5.78% and 20.68%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.
Why it matters
- With BSE involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
Market context
- This is a market-wide development — its reach goes beyond any single stock.
