What Thursday Told Us

• Reliance Industries fell 1.63 percent, among the key movers in this space on 1 October 2026.
• The broader Nifty 50 fell 0.88 percent, part of a broad-based sell-off that spared only a few sectors.
• India VIX spiked 7.64 percent to 14.52, its sharpest single-day jump since late September.

Nifty Metal F&O Outlook for Monday

For traders active in F&O, this outlook will hinge on open interest build-up and rollover activity in Nifty Metal futures and options contracts into 5 October 2026. Kunal Singla notes that a stable to falling India VIX once trading resumes would support range-bound F&O positioning, while continued volatility could see wider intraday swings.

Nothing in this nifty metal prediction for monday should be treated as a guarantee, only a working framework for Monday's session.

Key Drivers for Monday
