Oct-15-2026

Extending their upward rally, Indian equity benchmarks reached near fresh intraday high points in early afternoon session amid strong buying interest across key sectors. Positive sentiment surrounding the ongoing quarterly earnings season and a decline in crude oil prices further supported the market.

Information technology and TECK stocks led the rally, along with buying in heavyweight stocks such as Reliance Industries.  

On the global front, All Asian markets were trading lower, even after the value of core machinery orders in Japan was up a seasonally adjusted 5.2 percent on month in August, coming in at 1,069.8 billion yen. That beat forecasts for an increase of 2.2 percent following the 3.7 percent decline in July.

Meanwhile, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said that India is working to rebuild its relations with China, but the last word has not yet been scripted on this journey. Highlighting the country’s receptivity toward forming joint ventures, he said that India is open to engage with all countries around the world, provided it receives a fair deal, there is continuity in engagement, and the geopolitical environment remains stable. 

Minister’s comments hold special importance as China is India’s second-largest trading partner. India has time and again raised concerns over the widening trade deficit with China. He also highlighted issues related to investments from China as India has tightened its FDI policy for countries sharing land borders with it.
