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

The stock market outlook today is mildly positive, with GIFT Nifty near 23,012 to 23,031, the Sensex up about 0.5% at 74,241 and the Nifty up about 0.4% at 22,988 at 10:07 AM IST after the Dussehra holiday. Global cues are mixed: the Dow rose 1.02% and the S&P 500 rose 0.28%, but Japan’s Nikkei fell 1.30% and South Korea’s Kospi fell 3.73%. Brent crude is near $110 a barrel and the rupee opened at 94.78 per dollar, while Q2 results from Eternal and Adani Green and the opening of the Jio Platforms issue are the key events. Kotak Neo puts Nifty support at 22,800 and resistance at 23,000 to 23,200.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The stock market outlook today follows a weak session on Monday 19 Oct, when the Sensex fell 876 points to 73,852.90 and the Nifty fell 257 points to 22,888.95. One report labels that close as Monday 20 Oct, but NSE and BSE were shut on 20 Oct for Dussehra, so I use the 19 Oct session.<\/p>\n

This guide to the stock market outlook today covers the index levels, global cues, GIFT Nifty, crude and the rupee, technical levels, the events and the risks. It is educational and not a recommendation to buy or sell any share or index.<\/p>\n
