Stock market prediction for Wednesday, 14 October, 2026: The Indian stock market is likely to open on a negative note, as GIFT Nifty signalled a muted opening on Wednesday, 14 October.
Meanwhile, Asian markets rebounded on Wednesday , while US stock futures traded lower on Tuesday.
“Indian equity markets are likely to open on a cautious-to-steady note, with improving corporate earnings and recent strength in IT stocks providing some support. However, rising crude oil prices amid escalating Middle East tensions remain a significant concern. WTI crude has moved towards the $95-per-barrel region, keeping inflationary and external-balance risks elevated. Continued uncertainty surrounding regional energy supplies could limit the sustainability of the domestic market recovery,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.
Stock markets staged a strong rebound on Tuesday, with the Sensex surging over 1,100 points and the Nifty 50 closing above the 22,720 mark. Gains in IT, financial and FMCG stocks, a recovery in the rupee and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s remarks on long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax supported investor sentiment.
The 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 1,109.10 points, or 1.54%, to settle at 73,033.78, near its day’s high. During the session, the index climbed as much as 1,120.99 points, or 1.55%, to touch 73,045.67, marking its strongest single-day gain in four months.
