Indian benchmark indices BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 bounced back on Monday, April 6, supported by easing global tensions, a stronger rupee and gains in banking stocks.

By afternoon trade, the Sensex was up about 530 points at 73,849, while the Nifty hovered near the 22,900 level. During the day, the Sensex climbed more than 1,150 points from its low, and the Nifty rose over 360 points from its intraday bottom.

Over the last 3 sessions, the Sensex has gained more than 2,038 points (around 2.75%), while the Nifty has risen over 578 points (about 2.6%).

Broader Markets Outperform

Midcap and smallcap stocks performed better than the main indices.

  • Nifty Midcap 100 gained about 1.4%
  • Nifty Smallcap 100 rose around 1.1%

Investor wealth increased sharply, with the total market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies rising by nearly ₹5 trillion in one day.

Key Reasons Behind Today’s Rally

1) Hopes Of Easing Global Tensions

Market sentiment improved after reports of progress toward a possible ceasefire between the US and Iran. Investors believe easing tensions could stabilise crude oil prices and global trade routes, especially the Strait of Hormuz.

2) Rupee Strengthens After RBI Steps

The Indian rupee strengthened to 92.85 against the US dollar after the Reserve Bank of India introduced measures to curb speculative trading in forex markets. A stronger currency helped boost investor confidence.

3) Strong Rally In Banking And Financial Stocks

Banking and financial stocks led the gains. The Nifty Bank index rose around 1.5%, supported by strong buying in major lenders and NBFCs.

Top gaining sectors included:

  • Consumer Durables
  • Financial Services
  • Banks
  • Metals

Meanwhile, Oil & Gas, Media, Pharma and Healthcare stocks lagged the rally.
