Sensex Surges Over 1,200 Points as Nifty Nears 23,450 on Oil Price Drop and Reliance Earnings
Indian stock markets opened and closed sharply higher on November 2, 2026, with the Sensex rising over 1,200 points and the Nifty gaining nearly 400 points. The rally was driven by a sharp decline in crude oil prices amid hopes of US-Iran diplomatic progress, strong quarterly earnings from Reliance Industries, and positive domestic indicators such as robust GST collections and healthy automobile sales. Foreign institutional investors supported the market with significant buying, while sectoral gains were led by energy, metals, and automobiles. Broader markets showed mixed performance, with mid- and small-cap indices under pressure.
