India shares snapped a two-month losing streak in October, with the Nifty 50 rising 1.9% and the Sensex advancing 2.7%. The monthly recovery was powered by a 17.7% surge in IT stocks and resilient quarterly corporate earnings. Gains were capped by a surge in Brent Crude Oil prices due to lingering Middle East tensions.
