Nasdaq Hits Record as Nvidia Leads

U.S. equities were mixed as mega‑cap tech strength helped the Nasdaq close at a record 27,477 (+1.05%), while the S&P 500 rose 0.66% and the Dow added 0.18%. Nvidia hit an all‑time high ahead of earnings season, but elevated long‑term yields (10‑yr near 5.31%) continued to pressure non‑AI sectors. A soft September payrolls print (29k vs 84k expected) lifted odds of an October Fed hold. Crude fell ~2% as Middle East exports recovered and G7 emergency supply was released.

In India, the rupee firmed to 95.59, while Nifty gained 133 points to 22,555 after a four‑day slide. Short‑term indicators remain oversold. Resistance: 22,655 / 22,810. A break above this zone is vital for recovery. Support: 22,397 → 22,200.
