Sensex and Nifty Surge for Third Day: Top Gainers and Losers List

Indian equity markets continued their robust rally for the third consecutive session on Tuesday, driven by positive global cues and easing geopolitical tensions. The Sensex climbed over 544 points to reach a closing high, marking a significant three-day surge of nearly 4% for the benchmark index.

Market Indices Performance: A Three-Day Winning Streak

The benchmark indices showed strong momentum on Tuesday. The BSE Sensex gained 544.15 points, or 0.71 per cent, to settle at 76,808.48, hitting an intraday high of 76,846.74. Similarly, the NSE Nifty 50 rose by 135.25 points, or 0.57 per cent, to close at 23,989.15.

This upward trajectory is part of a broader recovery. Over the last three sessions, the Sensex has surged by 2,975.93 points (4%), while the Nifty has advanced 827.55 points (3.57%). The broader market also mirrored this optimism, with the BSE MidCap Select index rising 0.64 per cent and the SmallCap Select index gaining 0.59 per cent.

IT Stocks Lead the Charge as HCL Tech Rallies

The rally was largely supported by the IT, Realty, and FMCG sectors. HCL Technologies emerged as the star performer on both the BSE and NSE, jumping 3.55% to reach Rs 1,159. This surge follows the company's announcement of a ₹1,427 crore investment to acquire a 10.46% stake in Sarvam AI, a government-backed sovereign AI model developer.

Other significant gainers included:

Laggards in Metal, Auto, and Commodities

Despite the broad-based buying, certain sectors faced selling pressure. The Metal, Commodities, and Auto sectors were the primary laggards. Hindalco led the losers' list on the Nifty 50, tumbling 3.11% to close at Rs 982.40. JSW Steel also saw a decline of 1.72%.

In the auto space, Maruti Suzuki and Eicher Motors ended lower, with Maruti Suzuki dropping 0.83%. InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo) and UltraTech Cement also featured among the top decliners, reflecting a cautious stance in the aviation and cement sectors.

Global Catalysts: US-Iran Peace Deal and FII Inflows

Dos factores principales impulsaron el repunte nacional. En primer lugar, el reporte de un acuerdo de paz entre EE. UU. e Irán para reabrir el Estrecho de Ormuz ayudó a mitigar las preocupaciones sobre el suministro energético mundial. Esto provocó una caída del 2% en el crudo Brent, que cotizó a 81,45 dólares por barril.

En segundo lugar, los Inversores Institucionales Extranjeros (FII) regresaron a los mercados indios como compradores netos. El lunes, los FII compraron acciones indias por un valor neto de ₹200,05 crore, aportando la liquidez y la confianza tan necesarias para los inversores nacionales.
