Nifty Continued Gaining Streak for 3rd Straight Session: Buying in Financial Stocks

On October 6, 2025, Indian equity benchmarks, Nifty50, continued its upward momentum for the 3rd consecutive session. This momentum was buoyed by strong buying in financial stocks following robust Q2 business updates. 

The broader markets also maintained their resilience, as investor sentiment remained upbeat ahead of two high-profile IPOs: Tata Capital’s debut today, followed by LG Electronics India’s offering tomorrow.

In early trade, the Sensex climbed 264.55 points (0.33%) to reach 81,471.72, while the Nifty advanced 76.40 points (0.31%) to 24,970.65. Market breadth was largely balanced, with 1,777 stocks advancing, 1,717 declining, and 170 remaining unchanged.

Volatility Higher on October 6

The India VIX — a gauge of short-term market volatility — edged up nearly 3%, reflecting a slight uptick in investor caution. Uncertainty around the evolving economic dynamics between India and the US added to the subdued undertone.
