Sensex Rises 628 Points as Nifty Ends 7-Day Slide

Fresh foreign fund inflows and easing global bond yields lifted Indian equities, with the Sensex rising 628 points and the Nifty ending a seven-day slide.

  • On Thursday, Indian benchmark indices rebounded sharply, with the BSE Sensex jumping 628 points to 77,537.72 and the NSE Nifty climbing 153.55 points to 24,231.85, snapping a seven-day losing streak.
  • Easing global bond yields revived risk appetite, while fresh foreign fund inflows bolstered investor confidence after four consecutive sessions of decline.
  • Financial and IT stocks led the recovery; Eternal, Kotak Mahindra Bank, ITC, Bajaj Finance, and Axis Bank were among the top gainers in the 30-share BSE Sensex.
  • Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments Ltd, noted the widespread recovery, though he cautioned that optimism remains guarded due to "stubbornly high crude oil prices" driven by US-Iran tensions.
  • Hariselvan Radhakrishnan, Founder and CEO of HST Wealth, a SEBI-registered Research Analyst, described the rebound as "a decisive shift," noting markets had endured a seven-session losing streak, the longest in nearly 11 months.
