Bulls are back: Sensex adds 1400 pts intraday; Nifty at 24,200; key reasons

Indian benchmark indices BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 staged a strong rebound on Wednesday, April 15, driven by optimism around renewed US-Iran peace talks and supportive global cues.

The Sensex opened at 77,981, jumping 1,133.5 points (1.47%), while the Nifty50 climbed 321.15 points (1.35%) to start at 24,163.8. At the time of writing, the Sensex was trading at 78,089.77, up 1,242.20 points (1.62%), and the Nifty50 stood at 24,223.60, higher by 380.95 points (1.6%).

Buying was broad-based, with all major sectors recovering from recent lows and trading in the green. The Nifty IT index led gains with a 3.10% rise, followed by metals, PSU banks, and consumer durables, each advancing over 2%. Other sectors including auto, banking, financial services, FMCG, media, realty, oil & gas, and chemicals posted gains of over 1%.

Broader markets also participated in the rally, as the Nifty Midcap 100 rose 1.92% and the Nifty Smallcap 100 gained 1.83%. All 30 Sensex constituents traded higher, with top gainers including IndiGo, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, HCL Technologies, and Larsen & Toubro.

Volatility eased significantly, with India VIX falling over 8% to 18.85, reflecting improved investor sentiment. The rally added nearly ₹9.4 trillion to investor wealth, taking the total market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms to ₹457.87 trillion from ₹448.47 trillion earlier.

The key trigger behind the rally is optimism over renewed diplomatic efforts. US President Donald Trump संकेतों में कहा कि United States और Iran के बीच दोबारा बातचीत जल्द शुरू हो सकती है, जिससे पश्चिम एशिया में तनाव कम होने की उम्मीद है। साथ ही, Middle East में संभावित शांति, Israel–Lebanon वार्ता की उम्मीद और कच्चे तेल (Brent crude) की कीमतों में गिरावट ने बाजार को सहारा दिया।

वैश्विक संकेत भी सकारात्मक रहे। South Korea का KOSPI 2.85% उछला, जबकि Japan का Nikkei 225 और Hong Kong का Hang Seng लगभग 1% चढ़े। United States में भी मंगलवार को बाजार मजबूती के साथ बंद हुए, जहां S&P 500, Nasdaq और Dow Jones में अच्छी बढ़त दर्ज की गई।

हालांकि, विश्लेषकों का मानना है कि यह सकारात्मक रुख अभी शुरुआती चरण में है और भू-राजनीतिक घटनाक्रम में किसी भी नकारात्मक बदलाव से बाजार की दिशा तेजी से बदल सकती है।
