My arithmetic from closing levels gives about 8.6% for the Nifty and 8.9% for the Sensex from 30 October to 9 November. Three drivers explain most of it: crude, earnings and FPI flows.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>An <strong>Indian stocks higher open<\/strong> is on the cards for Wednesday 11 November 2026 because softer crude and robust <strong>foreign buying<\/strong> have carried the Nifty 50 and the BSE Sensex up nearly 9% so far this month. Reuters ties the move to easing crude oil prices, strong domestic earnings and a selloff in global chipmakers that has brought foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) back to India. This note sets out how big the move is, what drove each leg and what could reverse it, and it stays on the month&#8217;s rally, while the day-level Nifty view is in a separate Univest outlook note.<\/p>\n<p>Levels are closing prices from public market wraps, time-stamped by session. Indian markets were shut on 10 November for Diwali-Balipratipada, so the last close is 9 November 2026.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a
