The benchmark equity indices Sensex and Nifty sharply rebounded on Wednesday after suffering sharp losses in the previous session, supported by lower crude oil prices and buying in blue-chip stocks, particularly in the IT and private bank pack.
The Sensex settled 790.54 points or 1.04 higher at 76,991.22, and the Nifty was up 197.55 points or 0.83 percent at 24,021.65. On Tuesday, the Sensex had tanked 893.39 points, or 1.16 percent to settle at 76,200.68, while the Nifty dropped 278.80 points, or 1.16 percent to close at 23,824.10.Among sectoral indices, all Nifty gauges traded higher except auto, metal and consumer durables.
Key factors behind market rise
1) Lower crude prices: Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, declined 1.02 percent to USD 76.29 per barrel, hovering near four-month lows amid signs that more oil tankers stranded in the Gulf since the start of the Iran war are set to move out of the Strait of Hormuz."The crash in Brent crude to below USD 77 has removed the macro headwinds for India. Rupee has stabilised. FII selling appears to have tapered off. This is positive for the market," VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments, said.2) FII buying: Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) bought equities worth Rs 17.86 crore on Tuesday, lending support to market sentiment.3) India-US trade deal hopes: 4) Firm Asian markets: In Asia, South Korea's Kospi and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index were trading higher, providing positive cues to domestic equities.5) Buying in IT shares: Buying in information technology stocks supported the market. The NiftyIT index rose nearly 1%, outperforming the broader Nifty50's 0.3% gain. Among the gainers, Tech Mahindra climbed 2.6 percent, while Infosys gained 1.3 percent and Tata Consultancy Services advanced 0.6 percent.6) Buying in private banks: Heavyweight bank shares like ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank led the gains in the benchmarks with Bank Nifty surging over 1.5%.7) India Vix declines: The fear gauge or the volatility index declined 2.65 percent to 13.57 level, indicating reduced market uncertainity.Technical Outlook
Rajesh Palviya, Head of Research at Axis Direct, said "the undertone remains cautious as long as the Nifty trades below 23,950. A sustained move above this level could trigger a relief rally towards 24,100–24,150, while immediate support is placed at 23,780. A decisive breach below this support may accelerate profit booking towards the 23,600 zone. Although oversold conditions after the expiry session could support a near-term pullback, investors should remain watchful of global technology stocks, which are likely to continue dictating market sentiment in the near term."Disclaimer: The views and investment tips expressed by investment experts are their own and not of us.
