Indian benchmark indices rebounded on Wednesday as the Nifty 50 reclaimed the 24,100 mark and the Sensex surged over 600 points. Despite Brent crude soaring to $111 per barrel and the rupee hitting a record low of 94.81, a wave of strong Q4 earnings from heavyweights like Maruti Suzuki, Bandhan Bank, and CEAT fueled investor optimism. While West Asia tensions and the UAE’s exit from OPEC+ weighed on global sentiment, domestic buying by DIIs helped markets overcome persistent FII outflows.

Indian equities ended Tuesday’s volatile trade on a weak note, with benchmark indices surrendering early gains as global risk-off sentiment and rising crude prices triggered profit booking. The 30-share BSE Sensex closed 416.73 points, or 0.54%, lower at 76,886.91 after swinging 752 points intraday between a high of 77,493.53 and low of 76,741.06. The NSE Nifty 50 settled at 24,013.95, down 78.75 points or 0.33%, after briefly reclaiming 24,100 levels.

Dalal Street shrugged off global jitters and delivered a blockbuster Tuesday, with frontline indices charging higher for the fourth straight session. Buoyed by steady FII inflows and hopes of a US-Iran thaw, the bulls took charge from the opening bell and refused to look back.
