Crude Below $90 a Barrel

Kotak Neo noted that crude oil fell below $90 a barrel after US President Donald Trump said the Iran conflict was effectively over. The report did not tie the fall in crude directly to the day’s gains. HDFC Sky cited softer crude, foreign investor buying and a rotation out of technology stocks as reasons for the rally, and said US inflation data had raised the chance of a Fed rate hike in December. That is the outlet’s reading and was not confirmed by the exchanges.

Up 7,400 Points Since 30 October

The Sensex had closed at 74,459 on 30 October, when IPB last carried a daily market report. The index is now about 7,400 points higher than that level. IPB’s earlier report is here: Sensex Closes at 74,459, Nifty Back Above 23,000. More on the benchmark index is under the Sensex tag.

The next trading session is Thursday, 12 November. Investors will watch crude prices, foreign investor flows and the US rate outlook.
