Market Pulse: 6 November 2026 - Pre-Market Update

Market snapshot

Nifty 5024,536.60+2.40%
Sensex79,310.01+2.60%
Bank Nifty57,773.65+3.33%

Previous close · 5 Nov 2026 · Nifty has risen for 6 straight sessions — a streak that long has occurred 24 times across the last 1,293 sessions.

Yesterday, Indian equities surged to their best session in seven months, fueled by a sharp drop in crude oil prices and robust foreign institutional inflows. The rally marked the sixth consecutive session of gains for both the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex. The inflows were the largest in nearly six years, as global investors rotated funds out of AI-related trades. However, a cautious mood prevailed overnight as global markets tumbled, with U.S. tech stocks leading the sell-off, raising concerns about potential profit-booking in Indian markets.
