Sensex Today, Nifty 50 | Stock Market Live Updates: Find here all the live updates related to Sensex, Nifty, BSE, NSE, share prices and Indian stock markets for 12th October 2026.

Investors will track September CPI and WPI inflation data for cues on price pressures following the RBI’s recent rate hike and shift towards calibrated tightening. The Q2 FY27 earnings season will also gather momentum, with HCL Technologies, Hero MotoCorp, Tech Mahindra, Wipro and Nestle India scheduled to announce results. Corporate guidance and commentary on demand and margins will be key to assessing the earnings outlook.

Government bonds could open the week under mild selling pressure after the central bank announced measures to absorb banking-system liquidity, although expectations ‌of a sharp rupee rally may help limit losses.

The benchmark 6.94% 2036 bond ⁠yield may trade in a 7.26%-7.32% band, a trader with a primary dealership said, after ending at 7.2994% on Friday. ‌Bond yields rise when prices fall.

RBI’s new FX rules curb dollar demand, raise hedging costs, and hint at a rupee rally with volatile forward premiums.

Bitcoin rose 0.9% to about $83,706, while Ethereum gained 1.2% to $2,538. The recovery broadened across major virtual digital assets, with nine of the top ten advancing during the last 24 hours.

Avalanche led with a 5.1% jump to $10.91 and Chainlink rose 2.4% to $13.35. Solana added 1.2%, while BNB, XRP, Dogecoin and Cardano also gained. TRX was the only decliner, slipping 0.1%.

The quality of the close improved alongside prices. Avalanche ended at 87% of its daily range, Chainlink at 82%, Ethereum at 77% and Bitcoin at 71%. Eight of these top ten finished in the upper half of their ranges, indicating that buyers retained much of the day’s advance.

Institutional demand remains the main counterweight. US spot Bitcoin funds took in $21.1 million on 9 October, but Ether funds lost $56.1 million. Across the five completed US sessions dated 5 to 9 October, combined Bitcoin and Ether fund outflows reached $1.221 billion.

The global backdrop is still demanding. Treasury yields reached 24-year highs during the week ending 9 October.

Bitcoin support is near $82,716 and $82,500, with resistance around $84,111 and $84,500. Holding above $82,500 and clearing $84,500 with continued altcoin participation would strengthen the recovery. A break below $82,500 would weaken it. US inflation data on 14 October is the next scheduled macro catalyst.
