The Sensex climbed more than 1,000 points on Friday, November 6, 2026, according to NDTV, which reported the gain alongside a selloff in artificial intelligence-related shares worldwide. The Nifty also moved higher, with Moneycontrol reporting that it reclaimed the 24,600 level.
The rise stood out against weakness elsewhere. The Economic Times described steep declines on the Nasdaq, Kospi and Nikkei, while noting that Indian equities held up better than other markets during the global rout. Telegraph India reported that the Sensex and Nifty recorded their biggest single-day gains in seven months.
The Hindu attributed the early-session strength to continued foreign fund inflows. NDTV's coverage framed the session as a contrast between a firm domestic market and losses in global AI stocks.
The divergence is notable because it separates India's benchmark performance from the technology-led moves driving major overseas indexes. The reporting did not specify which AI-linked companies fell or the size of those declines.
Investors will be watching whether foreign inflows continue to support Indian equities and whether the pressure on global AI stocks carries into the next trading session.
