Indian Stock Market Wrap: Benchmarks Snap Eight-Week Losing Streak as FMCG and NBFCs Drive Rebound
Indian benchmark equity indices ended higher on Monday, October 5, 2026, halting an extended multi-week slump. A sharp pullback in international crude oil prices, coupled with cooling US Treasury yields following softer-than-expected US labor market data, provided crucial relief to domestic risk sentiment.
At the closing bell, the BSE Sensex surged 472.77 points (+0.66%) to settle at 72,382.47. Concurrently, the NSE Nifty 50 added 133.80 points (+0.60%) to finish at 22,555.75, successfully holding above its key 22,500 psychological support mark. Broader markets also joined the recovery, with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 gaining 0.67% and 0.47% respectively.
