Indian Stock Markets Rebound As Inflation Eases And Global Cues Turn Positive

The Indian stock markets rebounded sharply on Tuesday after four straight sessions of losses. The recovery was driven by positive global cues, easing retail inflation, and steady foreign fund inflows.

Both benchmark indices posted strong gains. At the close, the Sensex rose by 317 points, or 0.39 per cent, to end at 82,570.91. The Nifty followed with a 113.5-point rise, settling at 25,195.8 — a 0.45 per cent gain for the day.

Analysts noted that sentiment had improved due to a combination of global and domestic developments.

Vinod Nair of Geojit Investments said domestic inflation had fallen to multi-year lows. This, he added, raised hopes of a further RBI rate cut, potentially boosting future economic growth.

Broader markets joined the rally. Both the Nifty MidCap and Nifty SmallCap indices gained around 0.95 per cent, reflecting strong investor interest beyond large-cap stocks.

All sectoral indices on the 50-share index closed in the green. Nifty Auto led with a 1.5 per cent gain. Pharma and Healthcare indices also climbed over 1 per cent each.

Sectors including banking, energy, financials, IT, metals, PSU Banks, realty, consumer durables and oil & gas posted gains of up to 1 per cent.

The India VIX, commonly known as the fear index, dropped by 4.17 per cent to 11.48. This fall indicated reduced market volatility and improved investor confidence.

The Indian Rupee also regained ground against the US Dollar, snapping a two-day decline. Analysts said this reflected renewed confidence in Indian stock markets and a weaker US Dollar Index.

Dilip Parmar of HDFC Securities noted that investors were closely watching upcoming US inflation data. The data is expected to impact future monetary policy and discussions over Federal Reserve leadership, especially amid trade uncertainties.
