Markets Rally for Second Day as Global Cues Turn Positive!

Domestic markets extended their gains for the second consecutive day, supported by improving global sentiment. Signals pointing toward a possible end to tensions in West Asia and a decline in crude oil prices boosted international markets, which in turn lifted investor confidence in India. Reflecting this positive momentum, benchmark indices surged sharply during Wednesday’s trading session.

At around 9:30 AM, the BSE Sensex jumped 934.2 points to trade at 75,002, while the NSE Nifty 50 gained 305.6 points to reach 23,218, reclaiming the 23,000 mark. However, the Indian rupee weakened by 20 paise to 93.96 against the US dollar. Sectorally, all indices except IT were in the green. Stocks such as Shriram Finance, Mahindra & Mahindra, and Titan Company led the gains, while Tech Mahindra, Infosys, and HCL Technologies faced selling pressure.
