The Indian stock markets closed marginally lower on Tuesday, October twenty-eighth, twenty twenty-five, with the Sensex down one hundred fifty points at eighty-four thousand six hundred twenty-eight and the Nifty Fifty settling at twenty-five thousand nine hundred thirty-six, both losing around zero point one percent, while the Bank Nifty bucked the trend with a slight gain. Volatility marked the session with a smart recovery in the final half hour, as the Nifty consolidated between key levels of twenty-five thousand eight hundred and twenty-six thousand. PSU Bank and Metal indices led sectoral gains, surging over one percent on the back of IDBI Bank's nine percent rally amid strategic sale reports and steel stocks jumping nearly four percent on positive China cues, while Realty, IT, and Financial Services sectors underperformed. Top gainers included Tata Steel, L&T, and State Bank of India, whereas Trent, Tech Mahindra, and Bajaj Finserv led the losers. The Indian rupee remained under pressure near eighty-eight point two six against the dollar, hitting fresh yearly lows, while MCX gold and silver futures dropped nearly three percent after trading resumed following a technical outage. SEBI proposed easier norms for high-value debt listings, and the technical outlook remains bullish for Nifty above twenty-five thousand eight hundred support, with a close above twenty-six thousand potentially triggering fresh upside momentum.
