Market Movers October 16: Kotak Bank, Titan, Axis Bank Soar While Infosys, Bharti Airtel Stumble

Banking Titans Lead Charge as Tech Giants Retreat

Kotak Bank, Titan, and Axis Bank are riding high today—pushing gains while the rest of the market catches its breath. These stocks aren't just climbing; they're sprinting past resistance levels like they've got rockets strapped to their balance sheets.

Meanwhile, Infosys and Bharti Airtel are dragging their feet—edging lower in a session that's separating the momentum players from the cautious observers. Nothing says 'volatility' like watching tech stocks pretend they're not affected by global sentiment shifts.

For those keeping score: today's action proves once again that traditional banking sectors can still flex muscle when tech stumbles. Because nothing warms a trader's heart like watching established institutions outperform while disruptive tech plays catch-up—except maybe finding out your portfolio actually aligned with the winners for once.

Kotak Mahindra Bank led the advances, rising 2.67 per cent to ₹2,206.00. Titan Company followed closely with a 2.63 per cent gain, ending at ₹3,642.45.
