Sensex

Indian benchmark indices BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 recorded a strong session, each rising close to 1 percent, reflecting renewed investor confidence and steady buying across key sectors. Gains in banking, information technology and capital goods stocks helped lift the broader market, while improved global sentiment and stable domestic macroeconomic indicators supported the rally. Analysts attribute the upward momentum to institutional buying and bargain hunting after recent volatility.

India’s benchmark equity indices staged a strong recovery on Monday after experiencing significant declines during the previous three trading sessions. The BSE Sensex surged by 938.93 points, or 1.26 percent, to close at 75,502.85, while the NSE Nifty gained 257.70 points, or 1.11 percent, to settle at 23,408.80. The rebound was largely fueled by value-buying in blue-chip banking stocks and strong gains across key sectors including financial services, cement, and automobiles.
