Indian Equity Indices Rebound After Four-Day Slump

The BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty rebounded in early trade on Friday, September 4, 2026, ending a four-day period of decline. The BSE Sensex rose 531.88 points, or 0.70%, to reach 76,684.74, while the NSE Nifty advanced 78.25 points, or 0.33%, to 23,951.70.

This recovery followed a positive close in US markets on Thursday and mirrored a wider rally across Asian markets, including gains in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. Reliance Industries, Infosys, and HDFC Bank were among the primary gainers among Sensex constituents, though Axis Bank and ICICI Bank lagged during the session.

Market data from Thursday indicated a divergence in investor behavior. Foreign Institutional Investors offloaded equities worth Rs 2,345.87 crore, while Domestic Institutional Investors acted as net buyers, purchasing equities worth Rs 4,977.46 crore.
