Nifty Heads Toward Eighth Straight Weekly Loss Before Sensex Expiry
The Nifty 50 stock index has fallen for seven weeks in a row.
It may record an eighth weekly loss if it does not recover.
The index dropped on each trading day of this shortened week.
Traders are watching whether it can stay above 22,569.
They are also watching the 22,750–22,800 area, where selling may appear.
Sensex contracts expire during this session.
The new month and quarter will bring company updates and September auto-sales data.
Investors will also watch oil prices, bond yields and the currency for possible effects on the market.
The Nifty 50 is set for its eighth consecutive weekly decline after falling on all three days of the truncated week.
The index is attempting to hold the week's low of 22,569, while resistance is seen around 22,750–22,800.
The session is also the weekly expiry of Sensex contracts and the first trading day of a new month and quarter.
Investors will watch company business updates and September auto-sales figures, with expectations of another strong quarter for automakers.
Brent crude's December contracts remained below $100 a barrel, while sharply higher bond yields on Wall Street could affect domestic yields and the currency.
