Sensex and Nifty Rise for Fourth Straight Session Amid Global Cues

Indian benchmark equity indices continued their winning streak on Wednesday, marking the fourth consecutive session of gains. Investor sentiment remained buoyed by easing geopolitical tensions and softer global crude oil prices, helping indices overcome the pressure of sustained foreign fund outflows.

Market Performance: Sensex and Nifty Hit New Milestones

The BSE Sensex demonstrated strong momentum, rising by 347.14 points, or 0.45%, to close at 77,155.62. During intraday trading, the index showed significant strength, climbing as high as 410.51 points to reach 77,218.99.

Similarly, the NSE Nifty50 mirrored this positive trend, gaining 96.55 points, or 0.40%, to settle at 24,085.70. The Nifty touched an intraday high of 24,108.20, reflecting robust buying interest across various sectors. This upward movement follows a strong performance on Tuesday, where the Sensex had rallied 544.15 points.

The Crude Oil Factor and Geopolitical Stability

A primary driver for the bullish sentiment was the cooling of global oil prices. Brent crude, the global benchmark, traded at approximately USD 79.10 per barrel. This decline is largely attributed to the US-Iran peace deal and easing tensions around the Strait of Hormuz.

Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments Limited, noted that the continued weakness in crude oil prices has kept investor sentiment buoyant. As geopolitical risks subside, the reduction in energy costs provides a cushion for the broader economy, encouraging domestic market participation despite the fact that Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold equities worth Rs 749.18 crore on Tuesday.
