| ICICI Bank | ICICIBANK | ₹1,342.80 | ↗️ +₹10.80 (+0.81%) | ₹1,327.90–₹1,343.50 | Finished near the session high; policy guidance is the main near-term sector cue. |

| B2 | PB Fintech (Policybazaar) | POLICYBZR | ₹1,034.90 | ↗️ +₹58.70 (+6.01%) | ₹972.00–₹1,042.20 | Second-largest positive fintech move; no specific fresh trigger established in the checked coverage. NSE’s current trading symbol is POLICYBZR, not PBFINTECH. |
| B3 | AvenuesAI (formerly Infibeam Avenues) | CCAVENUE | ₹15.35 | ↗️ +₹0.36 (+2.40%) | ₹15.03–₹15.49 | Positive; NSE changed the company’s name and symbol from Infibeam Avenues / INFIBEAM to AvenuesAI / CCAVENUE in 2026. 6 |

| B3 | Network People Services Technologies | NPST | ₹1,835.50 | ↗️ +₹2.00 (+0.11%) | ₹1,800.00–₹1,865.90 | Near-flat; watch for a company filing rather than reading a broad-index move as a business signal. |
| B4 | Fino Payments Bank | FINOPB | ₹128.29 | ↘️ −₹0.21 (−0.16%) | ₹127.88–₹130.80 | Slight decline; await post-policy price discovery. |
| B4 | SBI Cards and Payment Services | SBICARD | ₹569.40 | ↗️ +₹3.40 (+0.60%) | ₹562.20–₹571.50 | Modest gain; rate and credit-cost expectations remain the sector watch. |
| B5 | AGS Transact Technologies | AGSTRA | ₹2.45 | ↘️ −₹0.04 (−1.61%) | ₹2.45–₹2.45 | Under CIRP; NSE series BZ and no intraday price range. Treat this as a distressed, illiquid security—not a normal operating-company trend. 7 |
The two largest positive percentage moves among the tracked fintech names were MobiKwik and PB Fintech. All closes, prior closes and low–high ranges above are from NSE’s October 6 bhavcopy. Daily changes are close-to-close; ranges describe Tuesday’s trading, not October 7 support/resistance. 4
📰 Sector News & Outlook
- RBI policy is today’s main catalyst. The MPC decision was scheduled for 10:00 AM IST, followed by the Governor’s press conference at noon. A 25-basis-point increase was an economist expectation, not a confirmed decision at this summary’s 08:15 cutoff. 8
- Pre-open bias is cautious. GIFT Nifty traded about 30–34 points below the Nifty close in early reports. Tuesday’s rebound and a softer indicated open leave the policy outcome—and guidance on inflation and growth—as the key direction-setter. 1 9
- Flows and currency remain an overhang. FIIs sold a net ₹2,961 crore while DIIs bought ₹5,089 crore on October 6; the rupee was reported weaker at ₹96.56 per US dollar. 10
- MobiKwik bulk deal: Moneycontrol reported Hara Global Capital Master Fund I bought 4.31 lakh shares (0.54%) for ₹9.83 crore at ₹227.86. The reported purchase price is below Tuesday’s ₹242.14 close; no causal link to the price move is assumed. 5
- Regulatory scan: No new RBI/NPCI/SEBI payment-rail action surfaced in the pre-market coverage reviewed by 08:15 IST. AGS Transact remains under the corporate insolvency resolution process, as its September 30 exchange filing states. 7
Sources and method: NSE’s October 6 index-close file and security bhavcopy supply the official closes, previous closes, changes and session ranges. 2 4 The Economic Times reported GIFT Nifty at 22,740 at 07:12 IST; Moneycontrol reported around 22,743.50 at 07:34 IST. These are indicative futures quotes, not the Nifty cash index. 1 9 No separate SGX Nifty quote is used; GIFT Nifty is its successor. Technical levels are attributed above; prior-session stock ranges are not presented as forecasts.
