Breakout watch: PTC Industries and Nuvama Wealth Management closed above their identified swing-high levels. Chennai Petroleum Corporation failed to sustain its breakout, while Engineers India and Jindal Steel remained below key support levels. What to watch next: Nifty expiry on October 13, upcoming corporate earnings, the impact of tighter monetary policy and sector-specific price action.

Apollo Hospitals Tops Gainers as Sensex Jumps 879

The market closed strongly higher today, recovering a big part of Thursday’s sell-off. The Sensex gained about 879 points (1.23%) to 72,472.33, and the Nifty rose about 289 points (1.30%) to 22,520.45. IT stocks led the recovery, helped by easing crude after Trump said the US would not attack Iran before the November 3 mid-term polls, and by cooling bond yields. 1)

TCS Jumps 5% After Q2 Results; Market Rebounds

Markets opened higher today after Thursday’s sharp sell-off (Sensex -1,045 points, Nifty -371 points). The Sensex opened at 71,776.67 against a previous close of 71,593.24, and the Nifty opened around 22,314-22,324. Two things drove the recovery. US Treasury yields pulled back, and oil eased after reports that Trump ruled out an Iran attack before November. The gains built through the morning, and by 11 AM the Sensex was up 809 points (1.13%) at 72,402.51. 1)

JSW Steel: production growth keeps the stock in focus

JSW Steel reported 5% YoY growth in consolidated crude steel production to 7.27 million tonnes in Q2 FY27. India production also grew 5% YoY to 7.07 million tonnes. The sequential improvement is more interesting. Overall production increased 10% QoQ, while India production rose 11% during the quarter. For a steel company, volume growth is only one part of the earnings story. The next question is whether higher production can translate into better profitability. Steel prices, spreads, raw-material costs and capacity utilisation will determine how much of this volume growth reaches the bottom line. India remains the key market to watch. Higher domestic production combined with healthy demand from infrastructure, automobiles and construction could support volumes. At the same time, investors need to keep an eye on imports and global steel prices. The timing is also important. The Nifty 50 fell 1.64% on Thursday, closing at 22,231.80. In this weak market, stocks showing positive operating momentum deserve closer attention, but the broader trend remains under pressure. For traders, I would watch the reaction to the Q2 production numbers rather than buying simply because production increased. A sustained move above the recent resistance zone with strong volumes would provide better confirmation. For investors, the key numbers in the upcoming results will be EBITDA per tonne, steel realisations, net debt and management commentary on demand. My view: The production update is positive, particularly because of the sequential improvement. But the real trigger will be whether margins and cash generation improve along with volumes.
