Stock Market Today Live Updates: BSE Sensex jumps over 130 points, NSE Nifty50 trades above 22,480 mark

Benchmark indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty50 began the week on a positive note. Outlook for the Dalal Street is set to be shaped by monetary policy, corporate earnings, crude oil prices, global bond yields and foreign investor activity. The RBI’s interest rate decision will be a key domestic cue, with its stance, inflation outlook and growth forecasts likely to guide expectations on interest rates and financial markets.

The start of the earnings season, with TCS and DMart among the key companies reporting results, will also keep investors focused on corporate performance. September PMI data is another key data point to watch.

Crude prices remain important, with Brent above $100 a barrel amid geopolitical uncertainty. Global bond yields, foreign fund flows and the FOMC minutes will also provide cues for market direction.
