Indian markets close higher for fourth straight session, Sensex up 286 points, Nifty gains 94 points

The BSE Sensex closed at 75,527.95, up 286 points (0.38%), while the NSE Nifty 50 ended at 23,622.90, up 94 points (0.40%). This marks the fourth straight session of gains for India’s major equity benchmarks.

Market breadth was broad, with most large‑cap and mid‑cap stocks posting positive returns. The rally occurred amid mixed global cues, including the upcoming U.S. Federal Reserve meeting and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which analysts note could influence volatility in the coming week.

Liquidity remained ample as foreign institutional investors continued net buying, and domestic retail participation was strong, reflected in higher turnover on both exchanges. Sectoral leaders such as information technology and financial services contributed notably to the upside.

Analysts caution that while the current trend is positive, upcoming macro events—particularly the Fed policy decision—could reshape market sentiment. Investors are advised to monitor yield movements and any escalation in geopolitical risks for potential impact on equity valuations.
