🧠 Stock Results & Market Impact
Strong earnings from key large-cap names have helped underpin the positive mood. (e.g., banking/financials)
Broadly, the market participated in the Muhurat session with symbolic buys rather than heavy volume breakouts.
Mid-cap and small-cap segments showed outperformance relative to large-caps in the session.
😶🌫️ Volatility Gauge (VIX)
India VIX: Closed around 11.30, indicating low but stable volatility.
Interpretation: Low VIX suggests calm sentiment — favourable for investment-buying in the near-term, but also means sharp breakouts may need catalysts.
📊 FII & DII Activity
On 20 Oct 2025:
FII: Net buy ~ ₹790.45 crore.
DII: Net buy ~ ₹2,485.46 crore.
On 21 Oct 2025 (Today)
FII: Net buy ~ ₹96.72 crore.

These flows reflect steady institutional accumulation in the cash market on the eve of the new financial year.
🆕 IPO / Primary Market Update
The Muhurat session often coincides with symbolic investment starts for the new financial year.
Look out for upcoming IPOs with high subscription interest; institutional backing remains key. (No major IPO launch data explicitly captured in sources for today.)
🎯 Stock of the Day
Infosys: Technology name showing relative strength in the session, and emerging as a favoured large-cap pick for Samvat 2082.
Why watch it: Good visibility, recent earnings, and sector leadership — suitable for symbolic buy in Muhurat hour with potential to scale later.
💡 Investment Ideas
Short-Term (weeks to few months)
Consider adding or initiating fresh positions near support levels (e.g., Nifty ~25,350-25,550). Monitor breakout above resistance (Nifty ~25,900-26,100) for momentum trades.
Long-Term (12-36 months)
Focus on high-quality large-cap stocks (financials, tech, industrials) with symbolic Muhurat buys as entry points. Use the Muhurat session as a starting anchor, and build via SIP/average over time.
⚠️ Key Risks
The session duration is shortened — momentum may lack depth.
Without strong global or domestic triggers, markets may consolidate rather than zoom upward.
Institutional flows, while positive, are modest — sudden outflows could give sharp dips.
