Stock market outlook today, 8 Oct: Sensex, Nifty prediction - DJIA, S&P, NASDAQ, GIFT Nifty, Nikkei, Kospi, Taiwan cues

What happened: Indian markets ended lower on Wednesday, snapping a two-session winning streak, after the RBI raised its key policy rate for the first time in nearly four years. GIFT Nifty signalled a negative open on Thursday. Key numbers: Sensex fell 429.11 points (0.59%) to 72,638.70. Nifty fell 173.05 points (0.76%) to 22,603.05. Why it matters: Analysts flagged key levels: Sensex support at 72,000 to 72,300, with 73,000 to 73,200 as resistance. A decisive Nifty fall below 22,600 could drag it toward 22,200, while a rise above 22,750 may restore bullishness.
