Stock Markets Rebound over 1% on Fed Pause, but Rupee and Crude Keep Investors on Edge

Banking and FMCG buying lifted the benchmark after foreign and domestic investors added nearly ₹1,515 crore in shares, exchange data showed.

  • On Thursday, October 29, 2026, the benchmark BSE Sensex surged 905.01 points, or 1.24%, to close at 74,151.04, while the NSE Nifty50 rose 237.90 points, or 1.05%, to 22,936.75.
  • Equities rallied as the Federal Reserve kept its key rate unchanged at about 3.9% on Wednesday, while Brent crude fell 1.18% to $113.96 per barrel, easing energy cost pressures.
  • Adani Ports emerged as the top gainer, rising over 5% after reporting an 18% increase in consolidated net profit to ₹3,682.44 crore, while Trent and HDFC Bank trailed as laggards.
  • Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments, noted that recent buying by Foreign Institutional Investors and DIIs improved market liquidity and signaled healthier breadth across sectors.
  • Near-Term momentum will depend on domestic earnings breadth and sustained foreign flows, Nair said, as global inflation trends and international central bank policies continue influencing capital flows.
