Wall Street closed higher with the S&#038;P 500 up 0.66% at 7,773.95, the Dow up 0.18% and the Nasdaq at a record, and Asia is firm with the Nikkei up about 0.2%, although US Treasury yields near multi-year highs and Brent around $100 to $102 cap the optimism. Technical analysts see Nifty support at 22,400 and 22,200 and resistance at 22,650, with Bank Nifty support at 54,000 and resistance near 55,200. Tuesday is the weekly Nifty expiry, and the RBI policy on 7 October is the next big trigger, so levels are guides and not forecasts.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Stock market outlook today starts with a firm signal from GIFT Nifty on Tuesday, 6 October, after the Sensex and Nifty snapped a four-day losing run on Monday. Global cues are mostly positive, but the RBI decision on 7 October and weekly expiry keep traders cautious.<\/p>\n<p>If you are checking the stock market outlook today, this article covers GIFT Nifty and the expected opening, Wall Street, Nikkei and Taiwan cues, Brent crude and FII flows, the Sensex and Nifty prediction levels such as 22,650 and 22,400, Bank Nifty levels, stocks in focus, the event calendar and the risks. This is a pre-market view, so see the live Sensex update for how the session unfolds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a
