Foreign fund inflows lift equities, financial stocks shine (Roundup)

Mumbai, Nov 20 : Healthy foreign funds inflow, along with strong buying support for the financial sector, lifted the key Indian equity indices on Friday.
However, overseas equity markets stalled on Friday as the surge of coronavirus cases across the world threatened global economic recovery.
Nevertheless, Indian markets received healthy foreign inflows of Rs 3,860.78 crore.
Accordingly, buying was witnessed in telecom, banking, finance and consumer durables stocks.
In the process, Indian markets outperformed all Asian markets except Singapore.
The S&P BSE Sensex closed at 43,882.25, higher by 282.29 points, or 0.65 per cent, from its previous close of 43,599.96.
