Buy or sell stocks, Nov. 13 -- The Indian stock market's benchmark indices - Sensex and Nifty - rallied for the third day on Wednesday, November 12, driven by optimism over improving trade dialogue prospects between India and the US, coupled with encouraging Q2 earnings from key corporates.

Some analysts also attributed the reason behind the market rise to the Bihar exit poll outcome that signals a win for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

Buying was seen in IT stocks and index heavyweight Reliance Industries.

The 30-share BSE Sensex rallied 595.19 points, or 0.71%, to settle at 84,466.51. The broader NSE Nifty climbed 180.85 points, or 0.70%, to close at 25,875.80. During the session, both indices rose 0.93%.
