Stock market today, May 7 -- Overseas investors' optimism toward Indian equities remains intact despite rising India-Pakistan tensions, as they continue buying for the 14th straight session, providing strong support to the Indian stock market.

FPIs shifted their stance towards the Indian stock market in the second half of April and have extended their buying spree into May. They have remained net buyers for 14 consecutive trading sessions, pumping in a cumulative Rs.43,940 crore into Indian equities, according to data compiled by Livemint.

During this period, both the Nifty 50 and Sensex have gained over 9%, outperforming their Western and Asian peers. This marks the longest buying streak by overseas investors in the past two years.
