POST-MARKET SUMMARY 16 October 2023

Investors engaged in profit-booking within the banking, real estate, and IT sectors, while a surge in buying activity was observed in metal, automotive, and consumer durable stocks, aiding in mitigating market declines. Initially, due to mixed global signals, the market opened on a pessimistic note, pushing the Nifty below the 19,700 level.
