<p>Given the increasing US bond rates and dollar index, consolidation persisted, which led FIIs to withdraw money. While the stabilization of oil prices may provide some solace on the negative side. The increase in production from the core sector is driving the acceleration in infrastructure activity. While a near-normal monsoon would help boost positive mood for spending in the short term, auto stocks slumped owing to conflicting monthly data, according to Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.</p>
<p>The BSE smallcap gauge and midcap gauge both increased in the overall market by 0.61 and 0.09 percent, respectively.</p>

Markets remained poor throughout the day as traders reduced their holdings in shares of metal, oil & gas, and auto companies. The rupee suffered from the higher dollar once again, which suggests that foreign investors may have stopped buying Indian stocks once more.</p>
<p>According to Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Research (Retail), Kotak Securities Ltd., “Even the robust September GST collections failed to enthuse investors as global worries continue to dictate the trend on local markets.”</p>
<p>Tokyo and Hong Kong closed down on Asian markets, while Shanghai closed higher.</p>

<p>Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) sold approximately Rs 14,767 crore worth of Indian shares in September, mostly as a result of the strengthening dollar, a sustained increase in US bond rates, and a surge in crude oil prices.</p>
<p>Monday’s stock market was closed in observance of Mahatma Gandhi Day.</p>
