Synopsis : Indian equity markets extended their rebound for a second consecutive session as strong global cues and a firmer rupee lifted investor sentiment. Broad-based buying pushed the Sensex up over 450 points, with all Nifty sectoral indices ending in the green.
Indian equity benchmarks staged a powerful rally on Monday, extending gains for the second straight session, as favourable global cues, a stronger rupee, and renewed optimism around U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts boosted risk appetite across Dalal Street.
In early trade, the Sensex surged over 450 points, while the Nifty 50 decisively moved above the 26,100 mark, reflecting broad-based buying interest. The rally followed a strong close on Friday, when markets snapped a four-day losing streak after a cooler-than-expected U.S. inflation print revived hopes of monetary easing in 2026.
On the sectoral front, the momentum was clearly bullish, with all Nifty sectoral indices trading in the green. IT and metal stocks led the rally, benefiting from a softer dollar outlook and improved global growth expectations. Financials, auto, FMCG, and capital goods stocks also saw steady buying, highlighting a shift back toward risk-on sentiment.
Friday’s session had already set the tone, with the S&P BSE Sensex rising 447 points (0.53%) to close above 84,929, while the NSE Nifty 50 gained 151 points (0.58%) to end above 25,966. Gains were supported by positive cues from Asian peers and improving global market sentiment.
Why the stock market is up today
Rupee bounce, easing pressure on importers and foreign flows
FIIs returning to the market, adding buying support
Positive global market cues, led by Asia and U.S. futures
Technical indicators turning constructive, encouraging fresh long positions
Global markets also remained supportive, with Asian indices trading higher and U.S. equity futures indicating a positive start, reinforcing optimism across emerging markets, including India.
With all sectors participating and volatility cooling, investors will now watch global macro data and central bank commentary for cues on the sustainability of the rally.
