Profit-taking erodes intraday gains in markets
Business Standard
|October 24, 2025
Domestic equity benchmarks extended gains for a sixth straight session on Thursday, with the Nifty briefly crossing the 26,000-mark after a year, driven by optimism over a potential trade deal with the US and upbeat corporate earnings for the July-September quarter.
However, profit-taking erased much of the day’s advance, leaving the indices with modest gains when the markets closed.
The Sensex rose 1.02 per cent intraday before settling at 84,556 — up 130 points, or 0.2 per cent. The Nifty crossed 26,000 for the first time since September 30, 2024, but ended at 25,891, up 23 points, or 0.09 per cent. Both indices have added around 3 per cent over the past six sessions. However, the rally lacked breadth with 2,464 stocks declining against 1,809 advancing on BSE.
The total market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms slipped by ₹60,000 crore to ₹470 trillion.
Investor wealth rose by ₹10.6 trillion over the past six sessions, while the benchmark indices were only 1.5 per cent shy of new lifetime highs.

Work-life balance tops job wish list for India's Gen Z
Infosys co-founder N R Narayana Murthy may still be extolling the virtues of a 72-hour work week. But Gen Z — broadly defined as those born between 1997 and 2012 — appears to be marching to a very different drumbeat: In a latest survey, nearly half of the 23,000 respondents from this age group said that the single most important factor when evaluating a job offer is, quite simply, “work-life balance”.
