Sensex climbs 320 points, Nifty tops 25,150

Markets rally with top gainers Axis Bank, Tata Consumer and losers include Asian Paints, Vodafone Idea

Markets rebounded strongly on Tuesday, 27 January 2026, the BSE Sensex ended over 320 points higher, while the Nifty 50 climbed above 25,150, boosted by upbeat domestic earnings and positive global cues. Investors drew confidence from the landmark India–European Union free trade agreement (FTA), expected to enhance exports across sectors like pharmaceuticals, textiles, and chemicals.

Gainers led the rally, with Axis Bank surging nearly 5%, supported by renewed buying interest in banking stocks. Tata Consumer Products impressed with a 38% year-on-year jump in quarterly profit and 15% revenue growth, attracting strong investor sentiment. Other financials and select FMCG names also added to the market’s momentum.

In contrast, losers moderated the overall gains. Asian Paints fell after reporting a slowdown in quarterly profits, raising caution among investors. Telecom stocks, particularly Vodafone Idea, remained under pressure despite a mixed earnings season. Some defensive and cyclical sectors saw muted participation as traders focused on high-growth and export-sensitive companies.

Global markets also influenced trading. Wall Street posted gains following expectations of steady corporate earnings and a cautious U.S. Federal Reserve stance on interest rates. Asian equities traded mixed, reflecting ongoing macro uncertainties and trade-related concerns.

Commodity markets reflected selective strength. Copper and zinc futures edged higher on improved demand expectations, though broader investor sentiment remained cautious ahead of major domestic earnings announcements.

Market participants said the coming sessions will likely remain sensitive to corporate results from BSE-listed companies and any new developments in international trade and monetary policies. Analysts believe sustained gains will depend on continued investor optimism around the India-EU FTA and domestic economic stability.
