Key Drivers for Monday
- Natural gas fell 0.98 percent on the MCX 27 October contract and closed at the day’s low of 302.80.

Ankit Jaiswal and Kunal Singla suggest revisiting this natural gas prediction for monday after the first thirty minutes of Monday’s trade.
Anyone following this natural gas prediction for monday should keep the next session’s opening range in view before reading too much into early moves.

How Friday’s Broader Session Unfolded
The Nifty 50 closed at 22,520.45, up 1.30 percent, with a high of 22,580.75 and a low of 22,294.75. The Sensex closed at 72,472.33, up 1.23 percent, and the Bank Nifty closed at 55,256.65, up 1.36 percent. India VIX, the market’s fear gauge, fell 5.76 percent to 14.40, which usually points to calmer expectations for near-term swings. The Friday gains followed a sell-off in the previous session, so part of the move may be a rebound rather than a fresh trend. The trigger for the broad gain was not independently confirmed.
Univest’s analysts suggest treating this natural gas prediction for monday as a preparation note for Monday, 12 October 2026, rather than a signal that changes over the weekend.
Analyst View for Monday
Kunal Singla suggests that the close at the day’s low is a soft signal, and a recovery above 305.20 would be the first sign that selling pressure is easing.
Ankit Jaiswal flags that natural gas moves quickly on weather forecasts, so traders should keep position sizes small and stay alert to gap openings.
This natural gas prediction for monday will be most useful when read alongside the support and resistance table above.
Why This Is Written for Monday
Indian equity markets are closed on Saturday and Sunday, so Friday’s closing prices remain the last cash-market data until trading resumes on Monday, 12 October 2026.

MCX futures trade into Friday night, so global moves late on Friday can shift Monday’s opening price.
