Sensex Opens 100 Points Higher, Nifty Above 23,000 Despite Headwinds

Indian equity markets made a positive start on Thursday after suffering heavy losses earlier in the week. The BSE Sensex gained over 100 points at the open, while the NSE Nifty50 held above the 23,000 mark. However, the recovery remained limited as surging crude oil prices weighed on broader market sentiment. Adding to the pressure, foreign institutional investors offloaded Indian equities worth more than ₹5,000 crore, dampening overall momentum.
