Sensex Today
Sensex Today: Indian equities opened higher on Tuesday, extending their winning streak as heavyweight stocks such as Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, L&T, HDFC Bank, ITC, and Infosys saw active buying.
The BSE Sensex rose 142 points (0.17%) to trade at 81,932, while the Nifty50 gained 46 points (0.18%) to reach 25,123 in early trade.

Global Cues
Across Asia, markets showed a mixed trend. Japan’s Nikkei hit a fresh record high for the second straight session, buoyed by a tech rally on Wall Street after a landmark deal between OpenAI and AMD — widely seen as a direct challenge to chip giant Nvidia.
In early trade, Nikkei rose 0.81%, South Korea’s Kospi surged 2.7%, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng slipped 0.67%, and China’s CSI 300 added 0.45%.
On Wall Street overnight, indices closed mixed as the prolonged US government shutdown entered its second week, delaying key data releases, including the September jobs report. The S&P 500 climbed 0.36%, Nasdaq gained 0.71%, while the Dow Jones dipped 0.14%.
