Both benchmark indices - Sensex and Nifty - recorded their third straight weekly gains by rising 298.61 points and 97 points, respectively.

FIIs have been on a withdrawing spree in September and October on the back of US providing more attractive options for investing. In September, they pulled out Rs 21,035 crore from the Indian capital market.

While the Sensex gained 118 points or 0.34% to 35,260, the Nifty rose 0.38% or 40 points to 10,616 level.

The domestic currency hit an intra day high of 71.86 - a fresh two-month high-in the forex market compared to its previous close of 72.31 to the US dollar.

However, most Asian markets ended lower after a rout in tech stocks, tracking a hefty sell-off on Wall Street, while the dollar hit a 16-month peak on safe haven bets amid China-US trade war worries.

Tata Motors (4.84%), Hero MotoCorp (3.82%) and PowerGrid 2.87% were the top Sensex losers. Of 30 Sensex stocks, 25 closed lower.
