After ending the rangebound truncated week (November 19 to 22) in the negative, the market witnessed a recovery on November 26 with Sensex gaining 370 points, while Nifty50 closing well above 10,600.
Falling crude oil prices and appreciating rupee are the two major factors that are helping the market to trade on the positive side. While the ongoing elections in five states are adding to the volatility in the market.
Crude oil prices have erased all its gains for this year. Also, rupee has recovered from an all-time low of 74.48.
