How Wednesday’s Broader Session Unfolded
The Nifty 50 closed at 22,811.35, down 0.34 percent, with a high of 23,120.90 and a low of 22,649.90.

The trigger for the broad move was not independently confirmed.
Univest’s analysts suggest treating this natural gas prediction for tomorrow as a preparation note for Thursday, 22 October 2026, rather than a signal that changes overnight.
Analyst View for Tomorrow

Ankit Jaiswal flags that natural gas is among the most volatile contracts, so traders should keep position sizes small and stay alert to gaps tomorrow.
