Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bank Nifty rose as much as 1.36% to 55,192 on 5 October after Q2 FY27 business updates showed double-digit loan and deposit growth across banks. HDFC Bank gained about 1.8% to Rs 734.20 as period-end advances grew 16.3% and deposits 18.8%, while AU Small Finance Bank reported deposits up 28.6% and the RBI cleared Anup Bagchi as HDFC Bank’s next CEO. Public sector banks outperformed, with credit growth of about 18% to 20% at Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank and Bank of India. The rally also rests on easing Fed hike fears, so the RBI’s policy decision on 7 October is the next test.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The Bank Nifty index, formally the Nifty Bank index, is the best performer among large sectors on 5 October, helped by a flood of Q2 business updates released between 1 and 4 October. Banks reveal advances, deposits and sometimes CASA ratios before formal results, which lets investors judge growth and funding costs four weeks early.<\/p>\n
