Nifty recovery weak, risks remain

Financial Express Chandigarh

October 06, 2025

AFTER FALLING FOR nine straight sessions from September 18 to September 30, the Nifty finally regained momentum in the October series.

- IVK SHARMA

It closed the holiday-shortened week 0.97% higher at 24,894. The Bank Nifty did even better with a gain of 2.21%, while metals stole the show as the sectoral index soared 3.93%.

Yet one thing remains unchanged — FIIs’ appetite for short-selling. October opened with their highest-ever short positions at 94%. The weak rupee is both cause and effect of FIl cash-market sales. A close above 25,400 would send even battle-hardened FIls scurrying to cover. For the mild-hearted, a nudge past 25,100 may suffice to trigger a rethink. Support lies at 24,587.
