Foreign investors pulled out a massive Rs 94,000 crore (around $11.2 billion) from the Indian stock market in October, making it the worst-ever month in terms of outflows, triggered by the elevated valuation of domestic equities and attractive valuations of Chinese stocks.

Global oil benchmark Brent crude climbed 1.49 per cent to $74.19 a barrel.

Rupee sees range-bound trade 

The rupee witnessed range-bound trade and appreciated by just 1 paisa to 84.06 against the US dollar in initial deals on Monday, weighed down by persistent foreign fund outflows and a muted trend in domestic equities.

Forex traders said the rupee is likely to trade in a narrow range during the day as the strong dollar weighs on the local unit and rising crude oil prices dragged down the local unit, while any intervention by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may also support the local currency at lower levels.

At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 84.07 against the greenback. In the initial trade, it touched 84.06, registering a rise of 1 paisa over its previous close. On Thursday, the rupee edged up 1 paisa to 84.07 against the US dollar.
