Sensex rises 190 points in early trade after two days of losses
The Indian stock market indices Sensex and Nifty rebounded on Wednesday following two days of losses, driven by a decline in crude oil prices and gains in IT stocks. Despite the recovery, market sentiment remains cautious due to ongoing global geopolitical uncertainties.
Why it matters
Market fluctuations in India are currently highly sensitive to global energy prices and geopolitical tensions, impacting investor confidence.
Market benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty rebounded in early trade on Wednesday (September 30, 2026) after two days of losses amid easing crude oil prices and buying in blue-chip IT stocks.
The 30-share BSE Sensex advanced 190 points to 72,733.04 in early trade. The 50-share NSE Nifty was up 22 points to 22,735.20.
From the 30 Sensex firms, Tata Consultancy Services, Tech Mahindra, HCL Tech, InterGlobe Aviation, ICICI Bank, and Trent were among the major winners.
Adani Ports, HDFC Bank, Sun Pharma, and NTPC were among the laggards.
Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, traded 0.68% higher at $103.3 per barrel.
"Indian equities are likely to find some relief at the open as a sharp pullback in crude oil prices eases one of the key pressures that has weighed on domestic markets in recent sessions," Ponmudi R., CEO of Enrich Money, an online trading and wealth-tech firm, said.
