Sensex and Nifty Rise on Easing Oil Prices Before RBI Rate Hike, Then Dip Amid Crude and Yield Concerns
Indian stock markets extended gains on October 6, with the Sensex rising over 685 points and the Nifty advancing 220 points, supported by easing crude oil prices below $100 per barrel and strong buying in banking, pharma, and energy stocks. Positive global cues and encouraging Q2 corporate results, especially from Trent and Kotak Mahindra Bank, bolstered sentiment ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's anticipated 25-basis-point rate hike. However, on October 7, markets opened lower amid rising crude prices, elevated US bond yields, and cautious investor sentiment ahead of the RBI policy announcement, leading to declines in key indices.
