Indian equity benchmarks extended their winning streak to four sessions on 03 Nov 2026 as crude oil prices corrected from recent highs and foreign fund inflows returned. The Sensex rose 1,225.07 points, or 1.62%, to close at its day’s high of 76,917.85, while the Nifty gained 370.05 points, or 1.58%, to finish at 23,810.85. Both indices ended at their session highs, signalling broad buying through the close 📈.
Key Points:
• OI Charts data showed the Nifty closing at ₹23,811, up 1.58% for the day, with volume of 408,375,815. The index gained 4.7% over five sessions and 5.3% over 20 sessions, while its latest close became a new 52-week high. The previous 52-week low was ₹22,180 on 08 Oct 2026.
• Buying extended beyond the benchmark stocks. The BSE MidCap Select index rose 0.87%, while the SmallCap Select index added 0.60%, showing continued participation in broader equities after the earlier weekly recovery.
• Sector performance was led by FMCG, which climbed 3.38%. Realty rose 2.33%, Top 10 Banks gained 1.92%, Financial Services advanced 1.67%, Auto increased 1.64% and Consumer Discretionary added 1.30% 🏦. Utilities and Power were among the weaker areas.
The move follows the earlier bulletin on foreign investor buying and easing oil prices, but marks a later and stronger phase of the recovery. Hindustan Unilever, Bharti Airtel, HDFC Bank, Asian Paints, UltraTech Cement and ICICI Bank were among the major Sensex winners. Power Grid, State Bank of India, NTPC, Tata Steel and Trent lagged despite the broader advance.
The immediate market focus is whether the Nifty can sustain its new 52-week-high zone after a 5.3% gain in 20 sessions. Foreign fund flows, crude oil prices and participation in mid- and small-cap stocks will help determine whether the rally remains broad-based. Financial stocks, FMCG and realty are the sectors to track after their strong one-day gains, while utilities and power require monitoring for signs of relative weakness ⚡.
