Since Indian markets are shut Friday for Gandhi Jayanti and through the weekend, Thursday&#8217;s close remains the last available data.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The nifty financial services prediction for monday is in focus after a Thursday session in which the broader Nifty 50 fell 0.88 percent to 22,421.95, as India VIX spiked 7.64 percent to 14.52, its sharpest single-day jump since late September, as broad-based selling hit most sectors, with Nifty Auto and Nifty Metal the worst hit even as Nifty IT bucked the trend entirely and rallied. Financial services stocks held up relatively well today even as ICICI Bank itself eased, since HDFC Bank&#8217;s gain offset some of the pressure<\/p>\n<p>As with any nifty financial services prediction for monday, the opening minutes of Monday&#8217;s trade will confirm or challenge the levels discussed here.<\/p>\n<p>Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest, and Kunal Singla,
