Why the market moved

Indian markets closed higher on Monday, 26 October 2026, with the NIFTY 50 gaining 0.68% and the S&P BSE SENSEX rising 0.66%, even as major global indices such as the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and Dow Jones fell sharply. Broader markets outperformed the headline indices, with the NIFTY Midcap 100 up 1.19% and the NIFTY Smallcap 100 up 1.38%, and advancing stocks outnumbered decliners 37 to 13 on the NIFTY 50. Metal and healthcare sectors led the gains, with Dr Reddys Laboratories and JSW Steel among the top individual gainers, while Shriram Finance and Tata Consumer Products were the steepest fallers. Media and consumer durables were the weakest sectors, and HDFC Bank along with several financial stocks weighed on the index, though the overall market held up despite the weak global backdrop.
