Nifty 50 Today: Gainers And Losers

The following stocks emerged as the top five gainers and losers on the Nifty 50 index today:

Crude Oil Prices Today

Crude oil prices fell on Tuesday amid optimism that the US-Israeli war on Iran could move towards a resolution, easing concerns about supply constraints. Brent, however, held near six-month peaks as fresh attacks on Saudi Arabia kept uncertainty over the region's stability alive.

At around 15:36, Brent crude December futures stood at $110.95 per barrel. At the same time, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude December futures stood at $102.04 per barrel.

Gold and silver traded lower on the Multi-Commodity Exchange of India (MCX). At around 15:38, MCX gold December 2026 futures stood at ₹1,42,374 per 10 grams, down 0.49%. At the same time, MCX silver December 2026 futures stood at ₹1,93,140 per kg, down 1.36%.

Other News Headlines

Here are some other headlines for the day:

• Rising short-term borrowing costs amid a liquidity squeeze have prompted the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to infuse funds into banks, while higher crude oil prices are adding to the pressure on government bond yields, according to a report.

• Anup Bagchi assumed the role of managing director and chief executive officer at HDFC Bank on Tuesday, following the end of Sashidhar Jagdishan’s tenure on 26 October.

What’s Next?

The outlook for the next trading session will hinge partly on developments in West Asia, with investors monitoring the impact on crude oil prices and global risk appetite. Although oil prices eased on Tuesday amid hopes of a resolution to the conflict, fresh attacks on Saudi Arabia kept supply concerns alive. Any renewed escalation could weigh on domestic equities, while signs of de-escalation may support sentiment.
