Sensex Today: Indian equity benchmarks staged a strong rebound after a subdued opening, driven by gains in IT and PSU bank stocks.

The BSE Sensex closed at 85,186.47, up 513.45 points (0.61%), while the Nifty50 ended at 26,052.65, rising 142.6 points (0.55%).

In the broader market, the Nifty MidCap 100 inched up 0.21%, whereas the Nifty SmallCap index slipped 0.43%.

Sector-wise, Nifty IT surged 2.9%, followed by Nifty PSU Bank with a 1.16% gain. In contrast, Realty and Oil & Gas were the biggest losers.

Among Sensex stocks, HCL Tech, Infosys, TCS, Hindustan Unilever, and Sun Pharma led the gains, while Tata Motors PV, Maruti Suzuki, Adani Ports, Bajaj Finance, and Asian Paints were the major laggards.

Global Cues

Asian markets were trading mixed. Japan’s Nikkei gained 0.67 per cent, China’s CSI 300 rose 0.38 per cent, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng edged up 0.09 per cent. In contrast, South Korea’s KOSPI slipped 0.46 per cent.

Overnight in the US, major indices closed lower as technology stocks continued to retreat on worries about stretched valuations in AI-linked names. The Dow Jones fell 1.07 per cent, the S&P 500 dropped 0.83 per cent, and the Nasdaq declined 1.21 per cent. Investor caution also grew ahead of quarterly results from AI bellwether Nvidia, scheduled to be released after the closing bell.
