BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty End Four-Day Losing Streak
Indian benchmark indices rebounded on October 26 driven by value buying in metals and healthcare despite ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty.
The BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty ended a four-day losing streak on October 26, 2026, as value buying drove a recovery across several key sectors. The Sensex rose 482.92 points, or 0.66%, to close at 73,606.75, while the Nifty climbed 153.20 points, or 0.68%, to settle at 22,753.20.
Gains were concentrated in the metal, telecommunications, and healthcare sectors, with Adani Ports, Tata Steel, and Bharti Airtel emerging as notable winners. Mid and smallcap stocks also saw a partial recovery following a sharp correction the previous week.
Market sentiment remained measured as investors weighed geopolitical uncertainty, elevated crude oil prices, and upcoming policy decisions from the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of Japan. While Indian markets rebounded, regional performance was mixed; markets in South Korea and Japan ended lower, while Shanghai and Hong Kong closed in positive territory.
