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

Indian equity markets extended their winning streak for a third consecutive session on Tuesday, driven by a combination of easing geopolitical tensions and renewed foreign institutional inflows. Both the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 closed significantly higher, marking a robust recovery in investor sentiment.

Benchmark Indices Hit New Heights

The 30-share BSE Sensex surged by 544.15 points, or 0.71 per cent, to settle at 76,808.48, having touched an intraday high of 76,846.74. Similarly, the NSE Nifty 50 climbed 135.25 points, or 0.57 per cent, to end at 23,989.15.

This rally has been particularly strong over the last three sessions, with the Sensex gaining a total of 2,975.93 points (4%) and the Nifty advancing 827.55 points (3.57%) in the same period.

IT Sector Leads the Charge

The rally was largely underpinned by the IT sector and selective energy stocks. HCL Tech emerged as the star performer on both indices, rising 3.55% to reach Rs 1,159. This jump followed the company's announcement of a ₹1,427 crore investment for a 10.46% stake in Sarvam AI, a government-backed sovereign AI model developer.

Other notable gainers included:

In contrast, the Metal, Commodities, and Auto sectors faced headwinds. Hindalco was the top loser on the Nifty 50, dropping 3.11%, while JSW Steel fell by 1.72%.

Geopolitical Relief and Crude Oil Impact

A significant driver behind the market's upward momentum was the reported peace deal between the US and Iran regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. This de-escalation eased fears of supply chain disruptions in global energy routes.

Consequently, Brent crude prices softened, trading 2% lower at $81.45 per barrel. This decline in energy costs provided a crucial cushion for domestic markets and supported the Oil & Gas sector, which rose by 0.85%.

FII Inflows and Broader Market Strength

The return of Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) provided additional fuel to the rally. Exchange data confirmed that FIIs turned net buyers, purchasing Indian equities worth ₹200.05 crore.

O otimismo estendeu-se a segmentos mais amplos do mercado, com o índice BSE MidCap Select subindo 0,64% e o índice SmallCap Select ganhando 0,59%. Na BSE, um total de 2.368 ações avançaram, superando significativamente as 1.886 ações que caíram.
