Nifty ends eight-week losing streak with Friday rally

2026-10-09 · 1 source · Economic Times Markets

In short

Nifty broke an eight-week losing streak on Friday and rose nearly 1.3% to close above 22,500. IT, FMCG and auto shares led the rally.

This matters to Indian stock investors because the market recovered after weeks of losses. The reporting still says FII selling, high US bond yields, crude prices and the RBI’s tighter stance remain risks.

What the reporting says

Nifty broke its eight-week losing streak on Friday, rising nearly 1.3% to close above 22,500, as IT, FMCG and auto stocks led a relief rally. The publisher-supplied summary says persistent FII selling, elevated US bond yields, crude oil prices and the RBI’s shift to calibrated tightening still cloud the outlook. The reporting does not say whether the rebound can hold.
