The Indian stock market experienced gains for the third consecutive session, with the Sensex climbing 300 points to 75,720 and the Nifty 50 rising 88 points to 23,779 during early trading. This positive performance occurred despite a decline in the Indian rupee, which fell 29 paise to 95.93 against the US dollar, approaching its lifetime low. Oil prices also increased, with Brent crude trading at $107 per barrel. Notably, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) turned net buyers of Indian equities, purchasing shares worth ₹187 crore after a week of net selling. Analysts suggest that the market is reacting positively to strong quarterly results while punishing poor performances. The ongoing trends indicate a mixed outlook for sectors like IT and pharmaceuticals amidst rising costs and inflationary pressures.
