Monday close: Sensex 71,924.68, Nifty 22,363.35. Asia weak (Kospi down 3.3% at the open), Dow +0.4%, Brent about $106, dollar index 102.44, rupee 95.78.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">Stock market outlook today points to a positive start, with GIFT Nifty trading around 22,423, up about 41 points from the Nifty futures&#8217; previous close (sources give 37 to 52 points), after the Sensex fell 547.65 points to 71,924.68 and the Nifty 50 fell 157.10 points to 22,363.35 on Monday. Global cues are mixed: the Dow rose 0.4% to 51,850.55, the S&#038;P 500 was flat at 7,807.24 and the Nasdaq lost 0.4%, while Asian markets opened lower with the Kospi down 3.3% and the Nikkei down 1.2%. Brent crude is near $106 a barrel, the dollar index is at 102.44, the rupee closed at 95.78 per dollar and the US 10-year yield is near 5.23%, all of which keep pressure on Indian markets. Nifty support is near 22,250 and resistance near 22,700, so the likely range is narrow, and the weekly expiry can add sharp swings.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Stock market outlook today is shaped by a positive GIFT Nifty signal against weak Asian markets and high crude. Investors want to know whether the Sensex and Nifty 50 can hold a gap-up open after Monday&#8217;s fall.<\/p>\n<p>This guide gives the stock market outlook today for Tuesday 13 October 2026: the GIFT Nifty signal, US and Asian cues, crude, dollar, rupee and bond yields, key levels, and the stocks and events to watch.<\/p>\n<p>By about 10 am the market had already turned higher, with the Sensex up about 678 points, so check live prices.
