Stock Market On Wednesday
Dalal Street pulled off a dramatic comeback on Wednesday after an early selloff sparked by geopolitical jitters and fears surrounding the Strait of Hormuz. Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty opened sharply lower as traders braced for potential disruptions in global oil supply routes. But just when panic started brewing, markets flipped the script. Reports of vessels resuming passage through the Strait helped calm nerves, triggering a steady recovery through the session. By the closing bell, both indices had clawed back more than 1% from the day’s lows to finish marginally higher. It was yet another reminder that markets love suspense, but they recover even faster when uncertainty eases.
