Nifty Prediction For October 27: Will It Cross 26,000 Amid Bullish Run? Fed Meet, Q2 Earnings To Watch
Last Updated:
Focus shifts to Q2 results, Mazagon Dock, BEL, and US Fed rate meeting this week.
Markets Stay Firm Despite Global Uncertainty; Focus Shifts to Q2 Earnings and Defence Stocks
The Indian markets consolidated gains with remarkable resilience last week, even as global uncertainty deepened following U.S. sanctions on Russian energy companies, which drove global crude oil prices higher by around 5% and reignited concerns over India’s import bill and inflation outlook. Sensex gained 1.48 per cent or 1,237 points to end last week at 84,211.
Nifty, however, saw a weak momentum with a drop of 0.32 per cent or 84 points to end at 25,795.
Despite these headwinds, domestic benchmarks maintained their composure, supported by strong DII inflows, encouraging Q2 earnings from IT and consumer sectors, argued Ponmudi R, CEO – Enrich Money.
Focus Shifts to Q2 Results and Defence Sector
Investors will also keep a close watch on Corporate India’s second-quarter earnings, which have so far come in better than expected, lending support to market sentiment. The defence sector will be in sharp focus as Mazagon Dock and Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) are set to announce their quarterly results.
US Fed Meeting
The US may see another rate cut this year, even as uncertainty looms over the economy due to the ongoing US government shutdown.
The Federal Reserve’s second-to-last rate meeting of 2025 takes place between October 28 to October 29.
Analysts expect the Fed to cut about 25 bps lowering its key lending rate to between 3.75 and 4 per cent.
Nifty Prediction For Monday, October 27
The Nifty 50 spent the week consolidating within a narrow band after its earlier breakout, ending at 25,795.15. The previous swing high near 25,660 has now turned into a key support area, where the index is likely to find buying interest.
The overall structure remains bullish as long as Nifty sustains above 25,450–25,600, explains Ponmudi R.
Nifty could break the barrier at 26,000 to hit all-time high. Puneet Singhania, Director of Master Trust Group predicted that technically, resistance is seen near 26,000, where a successful breakout could propel Nifty to all-time highs around 26,300.
“On the downside, the 25,400-25,500 zone is a critical support area, providing strong buying opportunities on dips and maintaining a favorable risk-reward setup for positional traders and investors,” he adds.

Two ads promoting British beef and milk have been banned after television presenter and environmental campaigner Chris Packham complained that they misled consumers about the products’ carbon footprints.
Both ads for the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board’s (AHDB) Let’s Eat Balanced campaign used the carbon footprint of British beef and milk to promote the products, firstly stating: “British beef not only tastes great, but has a carbon footprint that’s half the global average*.”
The asterisk linked to text that stated: “Full lifecycle emissions of CO2 eq (carbon dioxide equivalent) per kg of beef.”
The ad for milk stated: “British milk not only tastes good, but is also produced to world-class standards, and has a carbon footprint a third lower than the global average.”
Packham complained to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) that the ads, and specifically the carbon footprint claims, were misleading as they did not reflect the full environmental impact of British meat and dairy.
The AHDB said the ads’ mention of carbon emissions would be understood in relation to the environmental impact of beef and milk that occurred between the “cradle-to-retail” stages.
But the ASA said the average consumer “being reasonably well-informed, observant and circumspect” would understand the claims to apply beyond the retail stage and include actions such as cooking and wastage.
The ASA said: “While we acknowledged the potential difficulties in producing post-retail emissions data, the claims in the ads suggested those emissions were included and we therefore expected the evidence provided to also include them.
“We therefore concluded that the evidence presented was insufficient to support the full life-cycle claims in the ads, which was how the average consumer was likely to interpret them.
“We reminded AHDB that environmental claims should be based on the full life cycle unless the ad stated otherwise.”
AHDB’s director of communications and market development, Will Jackson, said: “Let’s Eat Balanced is doing what it was designed to do, providing clear, factual, evidence-led information about British food, nutrition and farming standards.
“Since the investigation began, we have conducted independent consumer research which found that the majority of respondents interpreted these adverts as relating to the production phase only, from farm to retail.
“This research provides important insight into consumer understanding and supports our belief that consumers were not misled by the information we shared in these two specific adverts.”
BENGALURU: India’s Gen Z workforce is embracing what experts describe as “portfolio careers” – balancing multiple professional identities and income streams simultaneously. New research from LinkedIn shows that 75% of Gen Z entrepreneurs in India now manage multiple income streams, significantly higher than the 62% among Gen X entrepreneurs. The findings point to a growing preference among younger professionals for flexibility, autonomy and diversified sources of income. “We’re also seeing the rise of the ‘portfolio era’, with more professionals creating multiple income streams and redefining what a career can look like. This shift is making entrepreneurship more accessible than ever before,” said LinkedIn India country manager Kumaresh Pattabiraman.Rather than depending on a single full-time role, many professionals are simultaneously building businesses, freelancing, consulting, creating online content and monetising specialised skills through digital platforms. The trend comes amid a broader rise in entrepreneurial activity in India. LinkedIn recorded a 104% year-on-year increase in members adding “Founder” to their profiles – the highest growth among all global markets.AI is also emerging as a major enabler of this shift. The report found that 85% of Gen Z entrepreneurs consider AI and digital tools important to their business operations.
Sam Altman said Elon Musk tried many times for total control of OpenAI, which he’s now suing.
