Sensex Surges Over 1,100 Points as IT Earnings and Tax Talks Boost Markets
Indian stock markets rebounded sharply on October 13, with the Sensex surging over 1,100 points and the Nifty reclaiming 22,700, driven by strong quarterly earnings from IT firms like HCL Technologies and Tata Consultancy Services. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's openness to discussions on long-term capital gains and securities transaction taxes further boosted investor sentiment. The rally was broad-based, led by IT, banking, realty, and auto sectors, despite concerns over elevated crude oil prices, retail inflation, and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The rupee also strengthened, supporting market recovery amid ongoing foreign investor outflows.
