Markets Rebound Sharply, Sensex Jumps 1,187 To 73,134, Nifty Climbs 348 To 22,679 But Trims Gains

Mumbai: The stock market bounced back strongly after two days of losses. The Sensex rose 1,187 points to close at 73,134, while the Nifty gained 348 points to end at 22,679. However, both indices came off their day’s highs, showing some late selling.

Broad-based buying lifts markets

The rally was broad-based, with 25 out of 30 Sensex stocks closing higher. Heavyweights like Reliance Industries, State Bank of India (SBI), and Larsen & Toubro led the gains.

Market breadth remained very strong. On the NSE, advancing stocks outnumbered declining ones by 12:1, indicating widespread buying across sectors.

Midcaps and banks outperform

Broader markets performed even better than the main indices. The Midcap index jumped 1,169 points to close at 53,819, showing strong investor interest beyond large-cap stocks.

The Nifty Bank index also saw strong buying, rising 1,173 points to settle at 51,449, driven by gains in banking stocks.
