Sensex and Nifty Surge for Third Consecutive Session Amid Global Optimism
Indian benchmark indices continued their strong upward trajectory on Tuesday, marking the third consecutive day of gains. Driven by positive global cues, easing crude oil prices, and a return of foreign fund inflows, the Sensex and Nifty reached significant milestones during the intraday session.
Market Performance: Sensex and Nifty Hit New Heights
The BSE Sensex recorded a substantial jump of 544.15 points, or 0.71 per cent, to close at 76,808.48. During the trading session, the index hit an intraday 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 peak of 24,002.60.
This rally has been remarkably consistent; over the last three sessions, the Sensex has surged by 2,975.93 points (4%), while the Nifty has advanced by 827.55 points (3.57%).
Key Drivers: IT Rally and Easing Geopolitical Tensions
A primary catalyst for the rally was the IT sector, led by HCL Technologies. HCL Tech emerged as the top gainer on both the Sensex and Nifty, rising 3.55% to close at Rs 1,159. This surge followed the company's announcement of a Rs 1,427 crore investment for a 10.46% stake in Sarvam AI, a government-backed sovereign AI model developer.
The broader market sentiment was also bolstered by a de-escalation in US-Iran tensions. A reported deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz helped stabilize global energy routes, causing Brent crude to drop 2% to $81.45 per barrel. This easing of oil prices provided a significant cushion for the Indian economy. Furthermore, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) turned net buyers, purchasing Indian equities worth Rs 200.05 crore.
