Tata Steel share price closed October 22 at ₹172.33, slipping ₹0.12 or 0.07%. The stock opened at ₹171 against a displayed previous close of ₹172. Its intraday low was ₹168 and the high was shown as ₹172. The source reports the closing price to two decimal places while the high is rounded to a whole rupee, so both figures are retained as displayed. 

Volume was substantial at 17,532,193 shares. The narrow displayed ₹4 high-low range contrasted with the large number of shares traded. Tata Steel finished above its opening price even though the day-on-day change remained marginally negative. 

All three major moving averages were above the final price. The 50-day DMA stood at ₹182.40, the 100-day DMA at ₹186.60 and the 200-day DMA at ₹186.90. The 100-day and 200-day measures were separated by only ₹0.30. Tata Steel closed roughly ₹10 below the 50-day DMA and around ₹14.50 below the two longer-period averages. 

The displayed 52-week low was ₹160 and the annual high ₹224. At ₹172.33, the stock was ₹12.33 above the low and ₹51.67 below the high. It therefore remained significantly closer to the lower end of its annual band in absolute rupee terms. 

Returns were negative across all four windows, although the one-year reading was close to flat. One-month performance was -6.04%, three-month performance -7.96% and the six-month return -18.72%. The one-year figure stood at just -0.26%. That near-flat annual return contrasted sharply with the substantially weaker six-month number, while the October 22 daily move itself was smaller still at only -0.07%.
