Indian Market Update --— 5 October 2026...

Indian markets rebounded today, ending a four-session losing streak. The Nifty 50 closed at 22,555.75, up 133.80 points (+0.60%), while the Sensex closed at 72,382.47, up 472.77 points (+0.66%). Falling crude prices and reduced expectations of aggressive US Fed tightening supported sentiment. 📌 Stock in Focus: ITC Ltd

ITC was one of today's strongest Nifty performers, gaining around 5% and leading the market's rebound. FMCG stocks were among the best-performing sectors, with ITC and Varun Beverages supporting the move. Why ITC is important: Strong buying in defensive/FMCG stocks suggests investors are rotating toward relatively stable sectors after the recent market correction. Market view: Today's recovery is positive, but traders should watch whether the Nifty can sustain above 22,500 in the coming sessions before treating this as a confirmed trend reversal.
