Sensex expiry today, Nov. 12 -- Indian stock market benchmarks extended their winning streak on Thursday, November 12, supported by positive global cues, a revival in foreign institutional investor (FII) inflows and a decline in crude oil prices.

The Sensex rose 239 points to 82,118.45, while the Nifty 50 gained 57 points to 25,331.85.

A stronger rupee, easing crude prices and broad-based buying across sectors further lifted investor sentiment.
