Stock market up today: Sensex +700 points (1%) to an intraday high of 72,621; Nifty 50 +1% to 22,581. Monday close: Sensex 71,924.68, Nifty 22,363.35. Reasons cited: IT rally after HCLTech Q2, softer crude (Brent about $105.4), stronger rupee (95.17) and an IMF upgrade of India’s FY27 GDP forecast to 7%.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

Stock market up today because three things lined up: IT stocks rallied after HCLTech’s Q2 FY27 results, Brent crude eased about 1.2% to near $105.4 while the rupee opened 63 paise stronger at 95.17 per dollar, and the IMF raised its FY27 growth forecast for India to 7%. The Sensex rose about 700 points, or 1%, to an intraday high of 72,621 and the Nifty 50 gained about 1% to 22,581, after the Nifty lost 157 points on Monday. Not every segment joined, since the Nifty Smallcap 100 was lower at one point and Power Grid, NTPC, Titan and Maruti were among the Sensex laggards, so this looks like a large-cap bounce led by IT. No single cause was confirmed in the reports I read, and foreign investors have pulled out a record Rs 3.08 trillion this year, so treat the move as a relief rally until flows turn.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Stock market up today is the headline after a sharp Monday fall, with the Sensex and Nifty 50 both gaining about 1% by mid-morning on Tuesday 13 October 2026. Many investors want to know why the market turned and whether the move can last.<\/p>\n

This guide explains why the stock market is up today, shows the Sensex and Nifty 50 numbers, lists the top three reasons reports are citing, and covers sector moves, foreign flows, risks and what to watch next.<\/p>\n

Figures are from morning reports at about 10 am and will change through the day.<\/p>\n
