- Sensex closes 1,534 points higher, Nifty gains 1.66% as global sell-off in AI-heavy markets improves India's relative appeal
The Sensex closed up 1,533.72 points (2.11%) at 74,315.61 and the Nifty 50 rose 374.65 points (1.66%) to 22,997.35 on Thursday, even as major Asian markets sold off heavily over concerns about stretched AI valuations and higher US inflation. Vinod Nair of Geojit Investments said the global tech sell-off improved India's relative appeal, drawing buying into large-cap technology, private financial and defensive stocks, supported by falling bond yields, a stable rupee and lower crude prices. However, he cautioned that the rally lacked broad participation, as small- and mid-cap stocks weakened and public sector banks were sold. IDBI Bank shares fell 8% to Rs 83.07 after the Cabinet approved a Rs 52,878 crore stake sale to Fairfax at a discount. Japan's Nikkei dropped more than 5% and South Korea's KOSPI fell more than 8%.
- RBI Rs 2 . 5 lakh crore liquidity infusion raises questions over tightening policy signal : SBI Report
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) injected Rs 2.5 lakh crore into the banking system through repo auctions, raising questions from the State Bank of India (SBI) about its liquidity management while the central bank pursues a calibrated tightening stance to address inflation. In its Ecowrap report, SBI said the RBI moved its operating rate to the upper end of the policy corridor, but found the liquidity injection hard to reconcile with its focus on controlling inflation. The RBI also cancelled all Treasury bill auctions. SBI expects Indian government bond yields to stay elevated due to high crude oil prices, noting the spread against US Treasury yields reached 250 basis points. SBI also continued to advocate widening the LAF corridor, arguing it could act as an automatic stabiliser during periods of uncertainty.

Indian stock markets opened sharply lower on Thursday as rising crude oil prices, elevated US bond yields and profit booking weighed on sentiment. The BSE Sensex fell 525.50 points, or 0.71%, to 73,184.19 in early trade, while the NSE Nifty 50 dropped 216.85 points, or 0.95%, to 22,594.50, below the 22,600 level. Brent crude rose 1.55% to USD 110.51 per barrel and US crude gained 1.23% to USD 98.34, raising concerns over inflation, corporate earnings and foreign investment flows. Nifty Metal fell 1.82% and Nifty Auto 1.76%, while Tech Mahindra, Infosys and Eternal held up better. Analyst Shrikant Chouhan of Kotak Neo flagged 22,750 as a key technical level, with a sustained break below it potentially pushing the Nifty toward 22,650–22,500.

- India bonds give up day gains as oil price spike adds to rate hike fears
- Oil , foreign flows in focus for rupee ; bond traders eye rate - hike bets
The Indian rupee is expected to hold steady in a holiday-shortened week, with oil prices and foreign portfolio flows in focus. Last week it gained 2%, its best week since March, closing at 94.96 on Friday after the Reserve Bank of India rolled out measures to support the currency. Traders see the rupee trading between 94–95.50 in the near term. Indian government bonds may face mild selling as fears of a bigger rate hike grow, with the 10-year yield, which ended at 7.3789% after a ninth straight weekly rise, expected to move between 7.32% and 7.42%. Following hawkish comments from Governor Sanjay Malhotra, calls for a 50-bps rate hike in December have increased.

- Apple to report Q4 earnings Monday, with iPhone 18 sales in the spotlight
Apple (AAPL) reports fourth-quarter earnings after the bell on Monday, with early iPhone 18 Pro sales in focus, though the iPhone Duo went on sale after the fiscal quarter ended and is not reflected. Analysts polled by Bloomberg expect EPS of $2 on revenue of $113.46 billion, versus EPS of $1.85 and revenue of $102.46 billion a year earlier, with iPhone sales projected at $56.48 billion, up 15% year over year. It will be the first earnings call under new CEO John Ternus, who took over from Tim Cook. Apple shares are up roughly 30% over the past 12 months, and its market cap passed $5 trillion earlier this month, a milestone only Nvidia has also reached.
- Why Netflix Stock Could Double From This Dip
Netflix shares hit a 52-week low on Oct. 27, 2026, down 33% year to date, as revenue growth slowed for three straight quarters from 18% in Q4 2025 to 12% in Q3 2026, with the U.S. the weakest region. Co-CEO Greg Peters said management is focused on improving the U.S. content slate, while every region still grew revenue by double digits and Q3 churn improved year on year, even after recent price increases. Netflix generated nearly $16 billion in trailing-12-month operating income on $50 billion of revenue. The stock trades at about 17 times 2026 earnings estimates, a slight discount to the S&P 500's forward multiple of 19, and analysts expect earnings to grow about 21% annually. The author sees content execution as the main risk and does not expect a quick rebound, but views the stock as undervalued for patient investors.
- Should You Sell Your Stocks Right Now? Here's What a Century's Worth of History Suggests.
The S&P 500 is up 13% this year and hit a record on Oct. 6, with tech stocks making up 39.7% of the index. The CAPE ratio is near 41, its second-highest ever, compared with a record 44 in 2000 before the market crashed, and the article notes the AI build-out resembles the dot-com bubble. Capital Group research found that over the 20 years ended Dec. 31, 2025, investors who bought at each year's low and at each year's high earned annualized gains of 14.65% and 12.64%, so staying invested tends to pay off more than trying to time the market. The article notes two exceptions: retirees or investors who may need their funds soon could sell some stocks now, and those whose holdings have grown too large in their portfolio could trim to rebalance.
- Here's What $6,000 Invested in Micron Could Be Worth in 2028
Micron's stock is up more than 200% this year as AI-driven memory demand surges, and the company has secured 16 strategic customer agreements running three to five years. Diluted EPS was over $74 in fiscal 2026, and S&P Global Market Intelligence consensus projects over $172 for fiscal 2027 and over $212 for fiscal 2029. If the current 5.65x forward earnings multiple is held, the stock would trade around $1,197 in 2028, about 23% upside, turning a $6,000 investment into $7,380. A 10x forward multiple would imply about $2,120 per share, in line with D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria's view that investors are early in understanding Micron's value, or roughly $12,940 for a $6,000 investment. The author questions how sustainable these earnings are given concerns over a new Chinese memory chip and expected heavy supply in 2029, and says owning some stock is fine while cautioning against a heavy position given its volatility.
- Here are 3 big things we're watching in the stock market in the week ahead

Apple reports after the close on Monday, with expected revenue of $113.4 billion and EPS of $1.99, and investors are focused on gross margins as memory costs rise. Eaton (revenue of $8.5 billion, EPS of $3.54) is being watched for manufacturing capacity and margin expansion, while DuPont (revenue of $1.84 billion, EPS of $1.87) is in focus for organic sales growth and the effects of the war in Iran and oil and gas inflation on EBITDA margins. Qnity Electronics reports Wednesday, after its shares fell almost 20% since its early August earnings report.
- 1 Reason to Buy Microsoft Stock for 10 Years
Microsoft has long charged businesses per worker for its software under seat-based pricing, but the article says its Copilot AI assistant is shifting to usage-based pricing, which could significantly affect growth not yet reflected in the stock price. The number of Copilot customers actively consuming credits through usage-based billing grew over 75% during the quarter, and daily users rose fivefold year over year. Revenue from agents and infrastructure (Azure, 365 cloud, productivity and server licensing, and industry solutions) grew 25% to nearly $77 billion, while 365 commercial cloud revenue rose 17% on a reported basis even though paid seats grew only 5%. The stock trades at about 27 times forward earnings, and analysts expect earnings to grow about 16% annually over the next several years.
