Analysis: Reasons Behind the Moves
Trading across equity, equity derivative, and currency segments was completely halted on Friday, October 02, 2026, due to the nationwide public holiday for Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti. The pause initiated a three-day market closure extending into the weekend, with regular trading scheduled to resume on Monday, October 05, 2026.
In the lead-up to the holiday, domestic equities faced heavy headwinds. The Nifty 50 settled lower by 0.88% and the BSE Sensex fell by 0.79% in the prior session. Market sentiment was dampened by persistent foreign institutional investor selling, rising global bond yields, and elevated international crude oil prices. Auto and commodity-linked stocks faced pronounced profit-taking, while selective buying in IT and banking blue-chips provided partial downside support before the holiday break.
