Sensex and Nifty Open Flat Amid Elevated Oil Prices and Mixed Earnings
Indian stock markets opened mostly flat on October 19, with the Sensex gaining around 120 points and the Nifty near 23,150. Positive corporate earnings, especially from IT and banking sectors, supported market resilience. However, elevated crude oil prices above $107 per barrel and geopolitical tensions around the Strait of Hormuz weighed on investor sentiment. Foreign Institutional Investors showed renewed buying interest after a period of selling. Market movements were largely stock-specific amid mixed global cues and cautious investor outlook.
