The Indian stock market found its footing again after days of pressure. On Monday, Sensex and Nifty News remained in focus as benchmarks snapped a five-session losing streak, helped by value buying and fresh optimism around India–US trade discussions.
The session started on a weak note. Early selling dragged indices sharply lower. But as the day unfolded, buyers stepped in, turning the mood around and pulling markets decisively off their lows.
By the closing bell, the comeback was clear—and meaningful.
Market Performance: Strong Recovery From Intraday Lows
The Sensex and Nifty staged a sharp rebound during the session, reversing early losses and ending firmly in the green.
- Sensex
- Intraday low: 82,861 (down over 700 points)
- Closing level: 83,878.17
- Net gain: 302 points (+0.36%)
- Rebound from the day’s low: 1,017 points
- Nifty 50
- Closing level: 25,790.25
- Net gain: 107 points
- Percentage rise: 0.42%
- Ended just short of the 25,800 mark
This recovery came after nearly 3% erosion over five sessions, which had pushed markets into an oversold zone.
Main News: What Lifted Sensex and Nifty Today?
The key driver behind the rebound was renewed confidence linked to India–US trade negotiations.
Market sentiment improved after indications that both countries were actively working to resolve trade-related differences. This eased concerns and encouraged investors to step back into stocks that had seen sharp corrections recently.
The rebound was gradual but steady, showing stronger buying interest as prices moved away from the day’s lows. This tone helped the benchmarks stabilise and close higher, even as broader markets remained under pressure.
Broader Market Struggles Despite Benchmark Gains
While the frontline indices managed a recovery, the broader market did not fully participate in the rally.
- BSE Midcap Index: down 0.41%
- BSE Smallcap Index: down 0.68%
This divergence highlights that buying interest stayed selective, focused largely on heavyweight stocks that influence the Sensex and Nifty.
Market Capitalisation Update
The rebound added fresh value to the market, albeit modestly.
- Total market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies:
- Current session: nearly ₹469 lakh crore
- Previous session: nearly ₹468 lakh crore
The rise reflects the late-session recovery in large-cap stocks, even as broader segments stayed weak.
