Sensex and Nifty Surge for Third Day: Top Gainers and Losers List
Indian benchmark indices continued their strong rally for the third consecutive session on Tuesday, driven by positive global cues and easing geopolitical tensions. Both the Sensex and Nifty reached significant milestones, bolstered by foreign fund inflows and a decline in global crude oil prices.
Market Indices Performance: A Three-Day Winning Streak
The BSE Sensex exhibited robust momentum, gaining 544.15 points or 0.71 per cent to close at 76,808.48. During intraday trading, it hit a high of 76,846.74. Similarly, the NSE Nifty 50 rose by 135.25 points or 0.57 per cent, settling at 23,989.15 after touching an intraday high of 24,002.60.
This rally marks a significant recovery period; 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%). Broad market sentiment was also positive, with the BSE MidCap Select rising 0.64 per cent and the SmallCap Select gaining 0.59 per cent.
IT and Energy Sectors Lead the Charge
The rally was primarily fueled by the IT and energy sectors. HCL Tech emerged as the star performer on both indices, rising 3.55 per cent. This surge followed the company's announcement of a ₹1,427 crore investment for a 10.46 per cent stake in Sarvam AI, a government-backed sovereign AI model developer.
Other notable gainers included:
- NTPC: Up 2.15%
- Bajaj Finserv: Up 2.12%
- Hindustan Unilever (HUL): Up 2.04%
- Tata Consultancy Services (TCS): Up 1.72%
Sectoral indices reflected this broad-based buying, with Realty climbing 2.27 per cent, Focused IT rising 1.72 per cent, and FMCG increasing 1.12 per cent.
Global Triggers: US-Iran Deal and Crude Oil
A major catalyst for the market's optimism was the reported peace deal between the US and Iran regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. This development eased fears of supply disruptions in global energy routes, leading to a 2 per cent drop in Brent crude, which traded at $81.45 per barrel.
Furthermore, the return of Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) provided much-needed liquidity. Exchange data confirmed that FIIs were net buyers, purchasing Indian equities worth ₹200.05 crore.
Top Losers: Metal and Auto Sectors Lag
Enquanto o mercado em geral estava no verde, certos setores enfrentaram ventos contrários. Ações de Metais, Commodities e Automotivo estiveram entre os que ficaram para trás. A Hindalco liderou as quedas no Nifty 50, caindo 3,11%.
Os maiores perdedores incluíram:
- Hindalco: -3,11%
- JSW Steel: -1,72%
- HDFC Life: -1,17%
- Maruti Suzuki: -0,83%
- InterGlobe Aviation: -0,83%
Principais Conclusões
