India’s BSE Sensex rose about 0.4% to 77,852 in early trade on Tuesday, rebounding after two sessions of sharp declines, as a rally across Asian markets and improved risk sentiment lifted equities. Optimism was supported by reports that US President Trump suggested the war in the Middle East could end soon.
Crude oil prices also tumbled, as expectations of reduced conflict risks eased concerns over supply disruptions, further buoying global markets. Most sectoral indices advanced, with the exception of technology, energy minerals, and communication, which posted modest losses.
Among individual stocks, early gainers included R Systems (+6.7%), Tejas Networks (+4.3%), InterGlobe (+2.9%), Larsen & Toubro (+2.1%), BSE Ltd (+1.6%), and ICICI Bank (+1.4%).
Still, volatility may persist in the equity markets, as geopolitical tensions, sharp swings in crude prices, and shifting foreign capital flows continue to inject uncertainty into the outlook.
