Indian benchmark indices ended Wednesday’s session on a positive note, with the BSE Sensex rising about 78 points and the Nifty 50 holding above 25,750, as investors weighed a mix of domestic policy developments and global cues.
After a strong rally earlier in the week triggered by the India–US trade deal, which lowered tariffs on key Indian exports, markets paused for consolidation. Heavyweights such as Trent and Eternal surged around 5% each, driving gains, while Infosys and HCL Tech slipped, reflecting cautious profit‑booking in IT stocks.
Traders balanced optimism over Union Budget 2026 measures with selective profit-taking. Banking and consumer stocks supported the market, while technology and export‑sensitive sectors saw mixed performance amid global market volatility.
Global developments, including geopolitical tensions and international market shifts, influenced investor sentiment, pushing the India VIX higher as traders hedged positions.
Corporate earnings updates added stock-specific momentum, particularly in financial services, while analysts highlighted earnings flows, foreign institutional investor activity, and policy clarity as near-term market drivers.
