Indian equities ended a volatile monthly expiry session almost flat on 27 Oct 2026, with the Nifty 50 closing at 22,749.75, down 3.45 points or 0.02%. Brent crude continued to trade above $110 a barrel, keeping gains capped as traders assessed the earnings calendar, fundraising plans, credit-rating updates, regulatory developments and new business wins.
The Economic Times identified Jio Platforms, Reliance Industries, Infosys, Larsen & Toubro, Tata Capital, Waaree Energies and Vedanta Iron and Steel as stocks likely to remain in focus on 28 Oct. The report flagged Jio Platforms ahead of its much-awaited Dalal Street debut, while the other names were linked to company-specific announcements and September-quarter earnings monitoring.

Infosys had closed at ₹1,163 on 27 Oct, down 0.3%, with volume of 20.1 million shares, according to OI Charts data. The stock had gained 4.8% over five sessions and 14% over 20 sessions, but its futures showed a short build-up: open interest rose 19.9% to 75.2 million shares, while futures traded at a 0.37% discount to the underlying.

For the broader market, a sustained move above Tuesday’s high of 22,830 could open levels near 23,000 and 23,175, according to Bajaj Broking’s Pabitro Mukherjee. Those levels correspond with last week’s high and the 50-day EMA. Traders will track whether the Nifty can reclaim 22,830, whether Brent remains above $110, and whether company filings confirm the earnings, funding, rating, regulatory or order-related triggers highlighted in the report. ⚡
