Stock Market Today, October 1, 2025: Nifty 50, Bank Nifty Outlook, FII-DII Data, Rupee, Gold-Silver Updates

Indian equity markets are expected to witness volatility ahead of the trading holiday on October 2 (Gandhi Jayanti). The GIFT Nifty is currently trading flat with a marginal gain of just 1.5 points, reflecting uncertainty in the market.

Asian markets are showing mixed cues. Japan’s Nikkei index is up by 233 points, while Dow Jones futures are trading in the red. This indicates a volatile session ahead for Indian equities.

Yesterday, both Nifty 50 and Sensex closed in the negative, while Bank Nifty showed signs of a possible reversal. Today’s trading session will be crucial in deciding the short-term direction for both Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty.

Outlook

The Indian stock market has seen nine straight sessions of decline, denting investor sentiment. However, traders are hoping for a “green candle” recovery, especially with festive season sentiment around Dussehra.

With FII outflows, weak rupee, and high volatility, today’s session may remain range-bound. However, auto sales numbers, IPO listings, and global market cues will set the tone for the coming days.
