5 October, 2026 Stock Market Updates: Sensex jumps 400 points, Infosys, HDFC among top gainers

Indian equity benchmark indices, the Sensex and Nifty, started the session in the green, with Asian markets trading mostly positive after softer-than-expected US jobs data reduced expectations of an immediate Fed rate hike. The 30-share BSE Sensex surged 431.25 points, or 0.60 per cent, to 72,340.95, while the Nifty added 110.45 points to open at 22,532.40. In the last trading session, the Sensex closed at 71,909.70 and the Nifty 50 at 22,421.95. Similarly, the broader indices traded in the green in the opening session. While the BSE Midcap Select Index added 148.41 points, the BSE Smallcap Select Index gained 56.39 points or 0.63 per cent, to trade in the green at 9,022.46.
