Indian Markets Rebound as Sensex Gains 400 Points, Nifty Rises
Indian stock markets went up on Thursday after several days of losses.
The Sensex and Nifty are two important measures of how Indian shares are performing.
The Sensex gained more than 400 points, and the Nifty moved above 24,200 during the session.
Investors felt more confident partly because US bond yields fell.
Some traders also bought shares to close earlier bets that prices would fall.
Information technology companies performed especially well.
Analysts said the rise could continue for a short time, but expensive crude oil and geopolitical uncertainty remain concerns.
They are watching whether the Nifty can stay above 24,000.
The Sensex rose 482.64 points, or 0.63%, to about 77,392.32, while the Nifty gained 113.15 points, or 0.47%, to around 24,191.45.
Both indices opened sharply higher, with the Sensex reaching 77,494.79 and the Nifty touching 24,225.45.
Falling US bond yields, short-covering and positive investor sentiment helped drive the rebound after a recent losing streak.
All sectoral and broad-market indices traded in positive territory, with Nifty IT gaining more than 1%.
Analysts identified 24,000 as key Nifty support, while elevated crude prices and geopolitical uncertainty remained risks.

Reasons for Further Recovery
VK Vijayakumar said the market appeared positioned for a short-term reversal because it was oversold, while revenue and earnings growth supported the rally.
Risks to the Rebound
Vipin Dixena said elevated crude prices and geopolitical uncertainty remained key risks for the session.
Technical outlook
Reasons for Further Recovery
A sustained Nifty move above 24,200 could indicate that the recent correction is losing momentum.
Risks to the Rebound
A failure to hold 24,000 could reopen a downside move toward 23,850-23,750.
What drove the gains
Reasons for Further Recovery
Falling US bond yields, short-covering and foreign institutional buying were viewed as positive forces for Indian equities.

Quotes
Unnamed Market Analyst
Market analyst commenting on Nifty technical levels
“This rally has fundamental support from revenue and earnings growth. Segments like CDMO, precision engineering and power infrastructure are doing very well, and the management commentaries are very positive. Part of the good news in these segments is already priced in, but there is more room for price appreciation in these segments.”

“The market, which has been steadily downtrending for the last 12 trading sessions, appears set for a short-term reversal now. The market is in oversold territory, and a mild rally triggered by short-covering is likely. The decline in US bond yields indicates a positive potential construct for equity markets globally.”
