Metals, power, telecom and private banks are up about 1% each, while IT is the only sector in the red, and Trent, Kotak Mahindra Bank, BSE and Reliance Industries lead the gainers. The rally follows a record Nasdaq close and Asian gains even as US bond yields stay high and Brent hovers near $100, and the next trigger is the RBI policy on 7 October. Intraday levels change fast and the final close can differ, so use this as a live snapshot and not a forecast.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Sensex today opened higher on Tuesday, 6 October, after the benchmarks ended an eight-week losing streak on Monday, with the Nifty closing at 22,555.75 and the Sensex at 72,382.47. The pre-open session had the Nifty up 47.50 points at 22,603.23 and the Sensex up 125.58 points at 72,508.05.<\/p>\n<p>If you are tracking the Sensex today, this article covers the live snapshot at 72,737 and 22,667 with 2,368 advances, sector moves including metal stocks, top gainers and losers, why the Nifty above 22,650 is holding, the India VIX move, global cues from the Nasdaq and Brent, levels to watch, the closing auction and the risks.
