Nifty IT advanced 1.72%, Nifty Auto gained 1.66%, Nifty Consumer Durables rose 1.52% and Nifty Media climbed 1.36%. Nifty FMCG also ended 1.08% higher. The renewed participation of foreign institutional investors (FIIs) added to the market's strength.

The positive momentum came against the backdrop of improving global sentiment after the November 2026 US midterm elections, in which the Democratic Party secured control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, dealing a significant setback to US President Donald Trump's administration. Adding to the cheer, Brent crude prices slipped below the $100-per-barrel mark to around $94 at the time of reporting. The decline offered some relief to India, which relies heavily on oil imports, while supporting domestic equities. Foreign fund inflows provided another boost, with overseas investors pumping around Rs 17,235 crore into Indian equities over just three trading sessions in November, signalling a return of institutional buying..Stock market today: Sensex soars over 1,500 points as Dalal Street extends rally Equity benchmarks continued their winning run on Thursday, with BSE Sensex surging 1,510.81 points, or 1.95%, to 78,812.21. NSE Nifty 50 also climbed 423.20 points, or 1.77%, to 24,344.10. According to Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, "The sharp advance reflects improving global risk sentiment, supported by lower crude prices and renewed institutional buying. However, the ability of the benchmarks to sustain these gains beyond the opening trades will be crucial in determining whether the positive momentum can translate into a broader upward move. Crude oil prices have retreated sharply; the decline offers some relief to an oil-import-dependent economy such as India". .Stock market today: Rupee adds to Dalal Street's momentum, opens at two-week high The rupee strengthened 0.3% from its previous close to open at a two-week high of 94.35 against the US dollar on Thursday, tracking a sharp slump in crude oil prices. The currency's gains added to the positive sentiment on Dalal Street, with benchmark indices extending their winning streak to six consecutive sessions..Stock market today: BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty50 soar in opening trade Dalal Street began Thursday on a strong note with both indices jumping sharply, Sensex gaining a whopping 1,400 points and Nifty50 rising over 1%.

GIFT Nifty futures stood at 24,295.5, indicating a higher start for the Nifty 50, which had closed at 23,960.6 in the previous session. Brent crude futures declined another 1% to $93.5 per barrel after falling 8.7% in the previous session. The correction followed the US midterm election outcome, with investors assessing whether the Democrats' victory could accelerate efforts to end the US-Israeli war on Iran. Foreign fund flows remained another important domestic market factor. Provisional data showed that foreign investors purchased Indian shares worth Rs 72.84 billion ($769.65 million) on Wednesday. This marked their fourth consecutive session of buying, indicating a return of foreign participation following a substantial sell-off in Indian equities earlier in the year..Stock market today: Asian markets gain after US rally; Kospi slides 2.7% on chip stock concerns Asian equities advanced, tracking gains on Wall Street after the US midterm election results, with a Democratic sweep of both chambers of Congress coinciding with a sharp correction in crude oil prices. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 0.3%, supported by gains in benchmark indexes across Japan and Australia. The broader regional advance followed a strong session in the US. The S&P 500 jumped 1.6%, marking its biggest single-session gain in three months, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 climbed 0.9%. South Korea moved in the opposite direction, with the Kospi Index declining 2.7%. Investor concerns surrounding the future of data-centre development and losses in US semiconductor stocks weighed on the benchmark. US Treasuries extended their gains amid optimism that lower oil prices could help contain inflation. The dollar weakened for a second consecutive day, while US oil futures held on to their declines in early Thursday trade after Brent crude had fallen more than 8% in the previous session. Treasuries also gained across the yield curve as investors reduced bets on Federal Reserve interest-rate hikes over the coming year. The dollar recorded its steepest decline in two months..Stock market today: Crude crashes below $100 to hit multi-month lows after US midterm results International crude oil prices witnessed a sharp correction following the US midterm election results, with both Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures falling below the $100-per-barrel mark. Brent crude declined $9.27, or 8.9%, to $94.29 a barrel, touching its lowest level since September 4. US WTI futures dropped $7.44, or 7.8%, to $88.54. However, industry executives cautioned that the decline in prices may not necessarily translate into a sustained easing, as US President Donald Trump's weakened political position could complicate efforts to end the Iran war. Democrats' control of Congress could constrain funding for the conflict, while Trump may seek to demonstrate strength by intensifying military operations against Tehran. Executives said an escalation involving ground forces could prolong the conflict, disrupt energy supplies and raise costs for consumers. A decisive outcome, whether through military action or a negotiated deal, was considered preferable to a prolonged stalemate that continues to weigh heavily on oil importers..Stock market today: Rupee in focus after ending previous sessions with modest gains Rupee ended Wednesday's session with modest gains against the US dollar, supported by a weaker greenback and lower crude oil prices. The currency settled at 94.64 per dollar, compared with its previous close of 94.74, as investors assessed the implications of the US midterm election results. The dollar index, which measures the US currency against a basket of six major currencies, declined 0.4% to 101.3. The euro, sterling and Swiss franc were among the currencies registering gains against the greenback. Rupee had touched a two-week high during early trade but subsequently pared some of its gains as importer and interbank dollar bids gathered strength around the 94.50 mark..Stock market recap: Sensex rallies 4,000 points in five sessions, closes above 77,000; Nifty ends at 23,961 Stock market extended its winning streak for the fifth consecutive session on Wednesday, with the Sensex climbing nearly 384 points to close above the 77,000 mark. Buying in blue-chip financial, FMCG and automobile stocks, continued foreign fund inflows and easing crude oil prices supported the rally. The BSE Sensex gained 384 points to settle at 77,301, its highest closing level in more than two months. During the session, the index had surged as much as 478 points to touch 77,396. The five-session rally has added more than 4,000 points, or 5%, to the benchmark. The NSE Nifty also advanced 150 points to close at 23,961.
