Nifty index opened on a flattish note around the 24,620 zone, with bulls taking charge right from the opening tick, maintaining momentum throughout the session. Supported by the RBI policy outcome, a wave of short covering further fueled the rally, enabling the index to break its nine-day losing streak. Nifty smoothly crossed and held above key hurdles at 24,750-24,800, eventually forming a large bullish candle on the daily chart.
This move negated the sequence of lower highs and lower lows seen over the past nine sessions, with the index closing the day with strong gains of 225 points. Now, it needs to hold above the 24,750 zone for an up move towards 25,000, followed by 25,100 levels. On the downside, support is shifting higher to 24,750 and then 24,600.
**Option Front Analysis:**
– Maximum Call Open Interest (OI) is at 25,000 and 24,900 strikes
– Maximum Put OI is at 24,600 and 24,700 strikes
– Call writing observed at 24,950 and 25,000 strikes
– Put writing noted at 24,700 and 24,600 strikes
Option data suggests a broader trading range between 24,300 to 25,300, with an immediate range between 24,600 and 25,100.

S&P BSE Sensex opened on a steady note around the 81,170 zone. Bulls seized control from the start, keeping momentum strong throughout the session. The RBI policy announcement acted as a trigger for short covering, propelling the rally and ending the recent losing streak.
The index comfortably crossed and sustained above key hurdles at 80,500 and 81,000, forming a large bullish candle on the daily chart. This rebound negated the sequence of lower highs and lower lows that had persisted recently. Sensex closed the day with robust gains of nearly 700 points.
The index now needs to hold above the 80,600 zone for an upward move towards 81,200 and then 81,500 levels. On the downside, support is rising to 80,600 and then 80,300.

Tata Motors secured the second spot in India’s passenger vehicle market in September, marking a significant milestone for the company. This achievement came as Tata Motors surpassed both Hyundai and Mahindra in vehicle registrations during the month.
The rise in Tata Motors’ market position was primarily driven by strong sales in the SUV and electric vehicle (EV) segments. Notably, the company also expanded its lead over JSW MG Motor in the rapidly growing EV market, further solidifying its foothold in this space.
Meanwhile, Maruti Suzuki continued to maintain its dominance as the market leader in passenger vehicles. The overall demand for electric vehicles saw an upward trend, with EV registrations increasing across the board in September.
These developments highlight the dynamic shifts in India’s automotive landscape, with Tata Motors emerging as a formidable player in both conventional and electric vehicle categories.

The scale of a shocking problem involving the unregulated sale and delivery of knives and machetes in the UK has only recently come to light following the Southport attack.
Around 2,800 unregistered and untracked parcels containing knives and machetes were sent into the UK by one company—Hunting & Knives. This online retailer, based in Spain but trading in the UK, specialised in bladed items. To ship products into the British Isles, Hunting & Knives relied on SJ Henderson, a fulfilment company based in Northern Ireland.
Under UK law, Hunting & Knives was responsible for ensuring that all products containing knives underwent age-verified delivery. However, the ongoing Southport Inquiry has revealed that the company, run by Juan Martinez, believed it was the fulfilment company’s role to ensure products were properly labelled and that identification was checked on delivery.
The inquiry further heard that SJ Henderson was not even aware of the nature of the products it was shipping to the UK. After leaving SJ Henderson, parcels passed through a chain including the “middleman” company Whistl and delivery company Evri. Both Whistl and Evri stated they were not notified about the packet contents; notably, Evri does not offer an age-verified delivery service.
As a result, 2,811 packages were sent by Hunting & Knives and delivered into the UK, “99.9% of which were bladed items.” All should have been subject to age verification—yet none were.
Lead counsel Nicholas Moss KC told proceedings at Liverpool Town Hall:
*“The inquiry cannot know how many of those more than 2,500 knives may have ended up in the hands of children.”*
The true scale of the issue was only exposed after Southport killer Axel Rudakubana successfully placed an order for a kukri Congo machete with a 30.5cm blade. The item was delivered to his home address in Banks, Lancashire, in October 2023.
The weapon was discovered in a black holdall in Rudakubana’s bedroom during a police search following the attack on July 29, 2023. On that day, Rudakubana targeted women and girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party at the Hart Space in Southport.
Rudakubana, referred to as AR in court proceedings, murdered three young girls—Elsie Dot Stancombe (7), Bebe King (6), and Alice da Silva Aguiar (9)—and injured 10 others.
Giving evidence on Wednesday, Stephen Henderson, CEO of SJ Henderson Fulfilment, said he was unaware Ageo Wholesale—the parent company of Hunting & Knives—was using his firm to ship blades. He acknowledged missed opportunities to obtain this information and expressed shock upon discovering an email stating Hunting & Knives “specialised in knives.”
“My honest understanding was that there was nothing to be cautious about due to the contract we held with them,” Mr. Henderson told the inquiry.
When asked by Mr. Moss if he fell short of his responsibilities, Mr. Henderson replied:
*“Looking back, I would say I fell somewhat short.”*
On whether he found it “very worrying” that the parcels, which should have been labelled “18-plus only”, were delivered without age verification, Henderson responded:
*“Absolutely, and it’s why I’m here today.”*
The inquiry also heard that Mr. Henderson’s company had a contract with logistics firm Whistl, which in turn contracted Evri to carry out the final delivery stage. Nigel Polglass, Chief Operating Officer for Whistl, described it as “deeply concerning” that more than 2,500 bladed items had been dispatched this way.
Mr. Polglass revealed that Whistl’s contract was with Ruach Music, another company owned by Mr. Henderson. He added that Whistl had believed it was handling “items linked to guitars.” When asked who was responsible for ensuring the appropriateness of the dispatched goods, Mr. Polglass pointed to Ruach Music.
Mr. Henderson confirmed that Whistl was aware he was also using them for his fulfilment company.
Christopher Ashworth, Chief Customer Officer of Evri, stated that the courier did not offer age-verified delivery services and was “wholly unaware” that the packages it delivered contained bladed items.
Mr. Henderson said he had terminated his contract with Hunting & Knives after Irish customs intercepted a consignment containing knives, machetes, and a pepperbox revolver—which Mr. Martinez said was a replica.
The inquiry heard that before carrying out the attack, Rudakubana, now 19, amassed an arsenal of weapons including knives, bows and arrows, and castor beans with the intention of making the deadly poison ricin. He also ordered two other machetes that were sent with age-verified delivery but were intercepted by his father, Alphonse.
Rudakubana was jailed for life with a minimum term of 52 years in January at Liverpool Crown Court after admitting the “sadistic” murders and attempted murders.
Inquiry chair Sir Adrian Fulford said:
*“What occurred on that day has made it critically necessary, moreover, to identify all the changes that need to be implemented in order to ensure, as best as our society is able, that there is no repetition.”*
The first phase of the inquiry is expected to run until November and continues to uncover the full extent of failures that allowed these dangerous weapons to reach the public unchecked.

**Prince Harry Nearly Got His “Dream” Tattoo During Wild Las Vegas Trip: A Story Resurfaced Amid Recent Tattoo Stunt**
*Published Oct. 1, 2025, 7:40 p.m. ET*
Prince Harry, 41, once came close to getting his “dream” tattoo during a notorious 2012 trip to Las Vegas — a story now resurfacing after he was recently seen participating in a tattoo stunt at a New York parlor.
In his memoir *Spare*, Harry recounted how, during that wild trip to Nevada, he was determined to commemorate the holiday with body ink. Fueled by alcohol and the thrill of freedom, he chose to get a map of Botswana tattooed on the sole of his foot.
### A Tattoo Plan Born in Sin City
However, Harry’s friends intervened, insisting that no prince should wake up with a permanent reminder of a night out in Sin City. A source close to the duke revealed, “Harry genuinely wanted the tattoo — to him, it symbolized both his connection to Botswana and living in the moment. His friends, though, saw it as a bad idea and stepped in, convinced he’d regret it later.”
### Friends Put Their Foot Down
In *Spare*, Harry explained his tattoo placement debate: the shoulder was too visible, the lower back too provocative, but the sole of his foot seemed perfect.
“Layers upon layers of symbolism,” he wrote, recalling how he wandered down the Las Vegas Strip searching for a tattoo parlor with an atlas of Africa. His friends, however, had other ideas. “Absolutely not,” they told him.
Harry recalled their threats to “hold me down, knock me out, whatever it took” to stop him from going through with it. Ultimately, he abandoned the plan and joined his entourage at a nightclub, admitting to sulking over the missed tattoo.
### Ink Fascination Resurfaces in New York
More than a decade later, Harry’s fascination with tattoos hasn’t faded. Last year, he was spotted entering East Side Ink in Manhattan alongside American country star Jelly Roll, sparking rumors that he had finally decided to get inked.
It was later revealed the scene was staged as part of a promotional sketch for the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025. In the short film, Jelly Roll jokingly inks Harry, who pretends to be getting his first tattoo.
The prank showcased the royal exile’s playful side but also revived memories of that Vegas trip. An insider said, “The stunt brought back memories of Harry’s long-standing curiosity about tattoos. Even though it wasn’t real, it reminded people of that night in Las Vegas when he nearly went through with it.”
### A Dream Deferred, Not Forgotten
Harry’s 2012 weekend in Nevada is remembered more for scandalous photos leaked from a game of strip billiards than for his unfulfilled tattoo dream. Yet, his memoir highlighted how seriously he considered the tattoo at the time, viewing it as a symbol of his independence.
Though he never followed through with the Botswana design, Harry admitted the idea lingered. “The tattoo could wait till the next day,” he recalled in *Spare* — though that day has not come… yet.

Shares of South Korean chip heavyweights Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix surged Thursday, a day after the two companies partnered with artificial intelligence major OpenAI as part of the U.S. firm’s Stargate initiative.
Shares of Samsung hit their highest levels since January 2021, rising over 4%, while SK Hynix stock surged more than 9% to reach its highest since 2000.
OpenAI said in a statement that this partnership will “focus on increasing the supply of advanced memory chips essential for next-generation AI and expanding data center capacity in Korea.” The ChatGPT-maker added that the two chipmakers plan to scale up production of advanced memory chips, which are critical to powering its AI models.
The announcement came as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman met with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung in Seoul, along with top leaders from Samsung and SK Hynix.
Earlier this month, SK Hynix announced that it was ready to mass-produce its next-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips, cementing its leading position in the AI value chain. HBM is a type of memory used in chipsets for artificial intelligence computing, including those from global AI giant Nvidia, a major client of SK Hynix.
HBM4 chips are expected to be the primary AI memory chips needed for Nvidia’s next-generation Rubin architecture—a more powerful AI chip designed for global data centers.
SK Hynix has been a main chip supplier to Nvidia, while rival Samsung has reportedly been working to get its HBM4 chips certified by Nvidia.
