Indian Stock Market Opens Higher as Oil Prices Ease and RBI Supports Rupee

Indian stock markets opened higher on October 12, 2026, as falling crude oil prices and new RBI measures to support the rupee improved investor sentiment.

The Sensex opened with gains of over 300 points, while the Nifty 50 rose more than 120 points in early trading. However, both indices later slipped into negative territory, with the Sensex falling over 200 points and the Nifty moving below 22,500.

The RBI introduced new measures to reduce dollar demand from oil companies and control excessive currency trading. These steps helped the Indian rupee strengthen nearly 1% against the US dollar in early trade.

Investors are also watching upcoming quarterly results, particularly from IT companies, for further market direction.

Key Points:

  • Market opened higher on October 12.
  • Sensex and Nifty later declined.
  • Rupee strengthened nearly 1%.
  • RBI introduced measures to support the rupee.
  • Quarterly earnings remain in focus.

Investors are watching crude oil prices, rupee movements and company results for the next market trend.
