Indian benchmark indices extended their gains on July 10, 2026, with the Sensex rising more than 800 points and the Nifty crossing the 24,200 mark during the trading session. The rally was led by strong buying in information technology (IT) stocks following quarterly results from Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). Apart from IT, favourable global and domestic factors, including lower crude oil prices, a stronger rupee and broad-based buying across sectors, also supported market sentiment.
The biggest driver of the day's rally was the strong performance of IT stocks.
The Nifty IT Index climbed more than 2%, making it the best-performing sector during the session. TCS shares surged after the company reported June quarter earnings and its highest hiring in 4 years. Positive management commentary also improved investor confidence in the sector.
Following TCS, other major IT companies such as Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Wipro and HCLTech also witnessed strong buying interest.
Crude oil prices declined further, providing another boost to Indian equities.
Brent crude traded at around US$76.55 per barrel, extending its recent fall despite geopolitical uncertainties. Lower crude oil prices are generally beneficial for India as the country imports a significant portion of its crude oil requirements. Reduced oil prices can help ease inflation and improve the country's trade balance.
The Indian rupee appreciated by 15 paise against the US dollar to 95.32.
The strengthening of the domestic currency was supported by lower crude oil prices and improving investor sentiment. A stronger rupee generally benefits sectors that depend on imported raw materials and also reflects confidence in the Indian economy.
The India VIX, which measures expected market volatility, fell by around 7% to 12.4.
A lower VIX indicates that investors expect reduced short-term market volatility, which often encourages increased participation in equity markets.

The positive sentiment extended beyond large-cap stocks.

The Indian stock market's rally on July 10, 2026, was supported by a combination of strong corporate earnings, particularly from the IT sector, easing crude oil prices, a stronger rupee, lower market volatility and widespread buying across sectors.
