Nifty 50 Sees Modest Decline
The Nifty 50 began trading at 25,984.40 and fell to 25,976.00 by 9:29 AM, recording a loss of 76.55 points or 0.29%. The index touched a high of 26,032.05 during the session before dipping to a low of 25,963.85. This mild downward movement was echoed across other prominent indices such as Nifty Next 50, Nifty Fin Service, and Nifty Bank, all reflecting marginal losses at the open.
Volatile Moves in Small-Cap Stocks
Several smaller companies registered sharp losses, with IXIGO plunging 14.77% to ₹276.80 on a volume of 57.38 lakh shares, and Shaily dropping 5.71% to ₹2,408.20. Delph-RE, TCI Finance, and Zimlab also ended the morning trade with declines exceeding 5%, indicating cautious sentiment among investors in select counters. The steep corrections in these stocks contributed to a largely risk-averse environment in the broader market.
Strong Advances Led by Eurotexind, Southwest, Megastar
In contrast, certain stocks posted strong rallies. Eurotexind and Southwest both gained 20%, while Megastar was up 11.67%. Trading volumes surged for Essentia (8.47 lakh shares) and HBSL (6.50 lakh shares), with increases exceeding 9% and 10% respectively. These gains suggested targeted buying in companies showing resilience or reporting positive developments, as participants rotated out of underperforming segments.
Conclusion: October 30, 2025 (Opening)
Overall, the trading session on October 30, 2025, highlighted a fragmented performance in Indian equities. The Nifty 50’s mild decline reflected broader caution, while certain small caps saw wild fluctuations. Investors are likely to remain selective, preferring companies with robust growth outlooks and avoiding names plagued by volatility.
