The session
The Nifty 50 rose 1.30%. The Nifty 50 sits in the lowest fifth of its 52-week range, 14.5% below the high.
Foreign institutions were net sellers of ₹12,944 crore in the cash market on 8 October, and domestic institutions net buyers of ₹10,703 crore. Domestic money absorbed the foreign flow, which is why the index moved less than either side's figure would suggest. Over the last 5 sessions foreign institutions were net sellers of ₹36,210 crore.
Key drivers
Market breadth
22 of 25 sectors advanced. The move was broad, with gains spread across most of the market rather than concentrated in a few sectors. IT led and Oil & Energy lagged, a spread of 2.4 points between the two ends of the market.
