Liquide Post-Market Summary 20th October 2025

Nifty started the session strong, crossing the 25,800 mark and extended its upward momentum, surpassing 25,900 intraday. The rally was fuelled by strong buying interest in heavyweight stocks like Reliance Industries and leading banking names, driven by impressive Q2 earnings reports.

Nifty Bank hit a fresh record high, crossing the 58,000 mark for the first time and peaking at 58,261.55 intraday. On the sectoral front, PSU Banks, IT and Oil & Gas sectors saw gains between 1-3%, while Auto, Financials and Metals ended the session marginally lower.
