Stock Market Today: After Two Days of Bloodbath, Dalal Street Finally Finds a Pulse Again, Sensex rebounds over 200 points as traders breathe easier after panic-driven selloff and global jitters begin to cool After two brutal sessions that wiped out investor confidence faster than a bad earnings call, Dalal Street finally opened with a little green on the screen and a little hope in traders’ hearts. The Sensex climbed over 200 points while the Nifty moved above 23,450, hinting that the market may be attempting a recovery after days of relentless selling pressure. The rebound comes as fears around global tensions, policy uncertainty and heavy profit booking begin to cool slightly. For traders glued to their terminals this week, today’s opening feels less like a rally and more like emotional first aid. The panic button is finally getting a short break.

Stock Market On Tuesday
Domestic investors absorb heavy foreign selling as Dalal Street avoids deeper damage. Even as foreign institutional investors (FIIs) continued their great Indian exit drama on Tuesday by dumping shares worth Rs 1,959 crore, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) stepped in with a giant Rs 7,990 crore shopping spree to stop the market from completely losing its balance. The tug-of-war once again highlighted the changing power equation on Dalal Street. While global funds stayed nervous amid uncertainty and volatility, local institutions kept buying the dip like seasoned bargain hunters. For traders battered by recent market swings, DIIs acted less like investors and more like emergency shock absorbers preventing a full-blown collapse.
