what happened
According to Moody's, Indian equities staged a strong recovery on October 26, 2026, after a weak opening and closed in positive territory. The Nifty 50 added 153.20 points, or 0.68%, to finish at 22,753.20, while the Sensex rose 482.92 points, or 0.66%, to 73,606.75.
The session opened cautiously amid elevated crude prices, geopolitical tensions and uncertainty over global central bank policy. Buying at lower levels helped markets recover. The Nifty Metal and Pharma indices each gained nearly 2%, while the Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 rose 1.19% and 1.38%.
Dr. Reddy's Laboratories jumped more than 6% after strong quarterly results. Shriram Finance, Tata Consumer Products, Bajaj Finance and HDFC Life came under selling pressure over earnings concerns.
why it matters
The analysts note that the Nifty moved back above its 20-day moving average, a sign of improving short-term momentum. They still advise caution given high oil prices, geopolitical uncertainty and central bank decisions ahead.
