The SENSEX Index Closes 0.10% Higher

India's BSE Sensex navigated a volatile trading session before closing marginally up at 81,106.7 on Monday, its highest since late February, extending its winning streak to eight straight sessions. Some signs of consolidation emerged after last week's rally buoyed by a revival in foreign investor demand, relatively attractive equity valuations, easing crude oil prices and improving corporate earnings. Buying interest in PSU banking stocks and select financial counters outweighed weakness in IT and metal stocks. State Bank of India was the top gainer, rising 2.4%. HDFC Bank advanced 1.5%, while ICICI Bank added 1.2%. Trent, L&T, NTPC, Maruti and M&M also gained, rising between 0.6%-2.1%. On the downside, HCL Technologies (-2.5%), Tata Steel (-2.4%), UltraTech Cement (-2%) and Bajaj Finance (-1.8%) posted the biggest losses. The Indian stock market will remain closed tomorrow, November 10, 2026, on account of Diwali-Balipratipada. Trading is scheduled to resume on Wednesday.

The SENSEX Index rose 79 points or 0.10 percent on Monday to close at 81107 points. Leading the gains are Larsen & Toubro (1.75%), HDFC Bank (1.63%) and ICICI Bank (1.13%). Top losers were Tata Steel (-2.82%), HCL Tech (-2.76%) and UltraTech Cement (-2.27%).

India’s BSE Sensex edged down around 0.2% to 80,822 on Monday, snapping a seven-session winning streak as investors booked profits following a sharp rally in domestic equities. The Nifty 50 also came under pressure after gaining around 10.5% over the seven sessions through Friday. Sentiment was supported by strong foreign inflows, with overseas investors purchasing more than $4.1 billion worth of Indian shares so far in November, marking their largest monthly inflows since September 2024. Meanwhile, the global retreat from AI-linked stocks is prompting investors to reconsider Asian markets, with India emerging as potential beneficiaries of a shift towards undervalued equities. Technology stocks led the losses, with TCS (-1.3%), Infosys (-1.9%), HCL Tech (-2.2%), and Tech Mahindra (-1.2%) among the notable laggards. On the upside, HDFC Bank (0.9%), State Bank of India (2.3%), and SAI Life Sciences (6.3%) posted gains.
