Stock market Today: Sensex, Nifty close over the board in green! Indian markets saw a strong comeback today as benchmark indices ended the session in green, giving investors a much-needed breather after recent volatility. The BSE Sensex jumped nearly 980 points and ended at around 940, while the Nifty 50 crossed the 300-point mark, showing broad-based buying across sectors.
The mood on Dalal Street turned positive mainly because investors started buying again in banking, IT, and auto stocks. Global markets also stayed supportive, and worries around inflation and interest rates eased a bit, adding fuel to the rally.
Strong corporate earnings and steady foreign investor inflows further boosted confidence.
In simple terms, after a few nervous trading sessions, today felt like a “relief rally” where investors came back to the market with more confidence and less fear, pushing indices higher and restoring some short-term optimism.
