Sensex jumps 367 points, Nifty crosses 25,800-mark
After three days of losses, the Indian stock market made a strong comeback on Thursday.
Sensex went up by 367 points to 64,753.55 and Nifty rose by 124 points to 19,883.64—thanks to solid buying across IT, auto, metals, realty, and banking sectors.
What's behind the bounce?
Metal stocks gained nearly 1% as global prices improved and the US dollar weakened.
A fresh rate cut from the US Federal Reserve gave IT shares a boost, while strong demand pushed banking shares higher.
Plus, there's growing optimism about India-US trade talks moving forward—India's Chief Economic Advisor sounded hopeful about an agreement by March 2026.
More than just numbers
Even with some volatility from traders adjusting their positions for derivatives expiry, more stocks were gaining than losing—showing broad participation in this rally.
The India VIX dropped almost 2%, hinting that investors are feeling a bit more at ease right now.
