Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sensex and Nifty rallied on 5 October, with the Sensex rising over 600 points to an intraday high of 72,540 and the Nifty gaining nearly 1% to 22,602, because of three factors. First, US payrolls rose only 29,000 against about 84,000 expected, which cut the odds of an October Fed hike from 23% to 13%. Second, crude oil eased and the rupee opened stronger at 96.20, and third, strong Q2 business updates lifted bank stocks. The rebound follows an eight-week fall, so it is a relief rally that still needs foreign selling to slow.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Why is the stock market up today? The answer is clear, but the size of each factor matters. The Sensex<\/a> and the Nifty 50<\/a> had fallen for eight straight weeks, the longest run in 25 years, and were sitting about 16% below the Sensex’s December 2025 peak of 86,159.<\/p>\n

This guide ranks the three factors behind the Sensex and Nifty rally: weak US jobs data (payrolls up just 29,000) that cut Fed hike odds, easing crude oil and Brent with a stronger rupee, and strong bank updates after an oversold fall. It also covers FII selling, India VIX, the RBI decision on 7 October, the Sensex today and Nifty today levels and what must happen for the rebound to last. Figures are from morning and midday trade and will change, so recheck them before acting.<\/p>\n
