Why the Sensex & Nifty fell on 23 Oct 2026

1. Global cues. Wall Street closed higher overnight; Brent crude is near $109.7 (-0.95%); gold down 0.03% overnight. Overnight moves on Wall Street and in crude oil, plus US Federal Reserve rate expectations, set the tone for how India opens.
2. FII / DII flows. DII were net buyers of ₹2,610 cr; FII/FPI were net sellers of ₹1,462 cr in the cash market. Sustained foreign selling tends to pressure the index and the rupee; domestic funds often absorb it.
3. Sector moves. Leading: Infra & Realty (+1.8%), Pharma & Healthcare (+1.73%), Auto (+1.15%). Lagging: IT & Tech (-1.78%), FMCG & Consumer (+0.05%), Banks & Financials (+0.41%). Because IT, banking and Reliance carry the largest index weights, a sharp move in any one of them can drive the whole Nifty.
4. Rupee (USD/INR). The rupee is at ₹95.23 (+0.06%). A weaker rupee lifts exporters such as IT and pharma but raises the import bill for oil and electronics.
5. Technical levels. Nifty is trading above its daily pivot of 22,631. Immediate support is around 22,509 (then 22,265); resistance is near 22,875 (then 22,997). A decisive break of these levels often accelerates the move.
