Sensex Jumps 1,225 Points, Nifty at 23,810 in Fourth Straight Gain
Sensex rose 1,225 points to 76,917.85 and Nifty climbed to 23,810.85 on Tuesday, a fourth straight gain led by auto, FMCG, realty and private banks.
Indian equities extended their winning run on Tuesday, closing near two-month highs as strong quarterly earnings lifted autos, consumer names, realty and private banks. The Sensex closed up 1,225.07 points, or 1.62%, at 76,917.85, and the Nifty rose 370.05 points, or 1.58%, to 23,810.85 on Tuesday 3 November 2026, according to Moneycontrol’s market liveblog of 4 November 2026.
- Sensex +1,225.07 (+1.62%) to 76,917.85; Nifty +370.05 (+1.58%) to 23,810.85 on 3 Nov
- Fourth straight gain, near two-month highs, led by auto, FMCG, realty and private banks
- US markets were mixed Tuesday; GIFT Nifty signalled a softer start on Wednesday
It was the fourth straight gain for both indices. Market coverage attributed the move to strong Q2 earnings across leading sectors, according to Moneycontrol. The rally builds on the choppier backdrop in our earlier report on the Sensex, Nifty and rupee October close ahead of the RBI MPC, when investors were still waiting for clearer policy and earnings signals.
Global cues were mixed
US markets finished Tuesday mixed: the S&P 500 rose 0.36% to 7,568.92, the Nasdaq gained 0.83% to 25,372.01, while the Dow fell 0.38% to 51,787.04, according to The Hindu BusinessLine’s day trading guide for 4 November 2026. GIFT Nifty signalled a softer start for Wednesday, suggesting some caution after four strong sessions.
Big single-stock moves remain part of this market’s story, as seen in Reliance shares’ 12% surge, their biggest gain since 2020. Broad-based gains led by earnings are generally healthier than a one-stock spike, but four straight sessions also raise the risk of profit-booking if global cues weaken.

What drove the breadth of the rally
The encouraging detail in Tuesday’s session was breadth. Gains led by auto, FMCG, realty and private banks suggest buying was spread across domestic-demand sectors rather than concentrated in a single heavyweight — the pattern market coverage linked to strong Q2 earnings, as cited above. Auto and FMCG strength usually signals confidence in consumer spending, realty gains point to housing demand, and private-bank leadership matters because banks carry heavy index weight and reflect credit growth expectations. When those four move together, the rally rests on the domestic economy story rather than on one global cue.
What traders will watch on Wednesday
After four straight gains, the near-term question is follow-through. The softer GIFT Nifty signal noted above points to a cautious open, and US markets offered no single direction on Tuesday, with the Dow lower even as the Nasdaq rose. Traders will watch whether early profit-booking is absorbed by fresh buying, whether earnings announcements continue to beat expectations, and whether foreign flows support the move. None of that changes Tuesday’s verified close — it only frames how fragile or durable a four-day run can be once momentum traders start testing it.
