Indian benchmark equity indices executed a historic bullish rally on Thursday, November 5, 2026, with the BSE Sensex soaring over 2,000 points and the Nifty 50 crossing the 24,500 mark.
Market sentiment was propelled by a sharp decline in international crude oil prices following the U.S. midterm election outcomes, where Democratic control of Congress raised hopes for diplomatic resolution in the U.S.-Iran conflict.
The 30-share BSE Sensex surged by 2,093 points (2.71%) to reach an intraday high of 79,395.33 near the close of trade, while the Nifty 50 jumped 595.35 points (2.48%) to hit 24,555.95.
