The Indian stock market rebounded sharply today, snapping a three-day losing streak. The Sensex jumped 447 points, while the Nifty closed above the 24,800 mark, lifted by strong gains in banking, auto, and realty stocks. Blue-chip stocks like Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank helped drive the rally, as investors shrugged off concerns over foreign fund outflows and trade uncertainties. All major sectors ended in the green, though IT and pharma stocks witnessed some profit booking.

Adani Enterprises, Adani Ports, and Power Grid were among the top gainers, while LTIMindtree and HUL saw marginal declines. Global cues remained supportive, and foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) continued to pump capital into Indian equities, adding over ₹33,000 crore in July alone.

With easing geopolitical pressures and hopes of policy support from the RBI, investor sentiment showed signs of cautious optimism heading into the next earnings cycle and key macroeconomic data release.

The Indian stock market saw positive momentum today with the Sensex rising by 350 points and the Nifty closing at 24,800. This uplift reflects investor confidence amid mixed corporate earnings. Asian Paints reported a 6% decline in its Q1 profit, falling to Rs 1,117 crore, impacted by rising input costs and supply chain challenges. Despite this, the overall market maintained its upward trajectory supported by strong performances in banking and IT sectors. Analysts suggest cautious optimism as the market absorbs quarterly results while keeping an eye on global economic cues and domestic policy developments. 

By midday, the Sensex stood at 80,859.07, down 31.95 points or 0.04%, while the Nifty inched up 5.20 points or 0.02% to 24,686.10. Both indices dipped to their day’s lows earlier but bounced back to trade flat as cautious investors awaited fresh market cues.

Key gainers include Jio Financial, JSW Steel, and Bharti Airtel, reflecting selective sector strength.

Despite global uncertainties, the Indian markets have shown resilience with minimal movement in benchmark indices so far today.

The Nifty Defence index fell sharply by close to 2% on July 29, reflecting widespread selling pressure in the sector.

Other defence stocks also experienced downward movement, contributing to the overall decline. Investors are advised to monitor upcoming developments in the defence sector and broader market trends before making any trading decisions, as volatility may continue in the near term.

On July 29, the Indian stock market saw a notable decline, with the Sensex dropping over 190 points and the Nifty slipping below 24,600.
