The move comes even as investors continue to weigh ongoing global and domestic challenges, making today’s push notable.
Indian equities extended gains for a second straight day, with the Sensex crossing 75,000 and the Nifty holding above 23,500 despite a weak rupee nearing record lows.

Indian benchmark indices extended their rally on Thursday, May 14. The Nifty gained about 150 points to around 23,550, while the Sensex jumped roughly 400 points to near the 75,000 mark. The move keeps the markets on a winning streak, with traders watching whether momentum can carry further into the session.
Morgan Stanley has turned notably more bullish on Indian equities, forecasting the BSE Sensex could reach 89,000 by June 2027. The call suggests roughly 15% upside from current levels and is tied to a view that India is moving past a six-quarter earnings slowdown into a stronger growth phase after a “mid-cycle” pause.
Indian benchmark indices showed resilience but ended nearly flat in a volatile session. The Nifty 50 hovered around 23,400 with a broader market tilt toward decliners. The Sensex struggled as banking dragged sentiment. A major driver was Titan, which saw heavy selling after import tariffs were raised, while select FMCG and pharma stocks offered limited support.
Indian stocks snapped a four-day losing streak as Sensex rose 120 points and Nifty reclaimed the 23,400 mark. The rebound was supported by a stronger rupee and easing oil prices, even as geopolitical tensions linger. Midcap and smallcap stocks joined the rally, with Asian Paints among the standout performers. Traders now watch whether the momentum can hold.

Indian equity markets slid for a fourth consecutive session, with the Sensex and broader indices hit by rising crude oil prices, geopolitical tensions, foreign investor selling, and a rupee at record lows. The sharp losses dragged benchmark, midcap, and smallcap stocks. Analysts say volatility could continue unless global tensions ease and inflation concerns stabilise.
Indian investors saw a “Black Tuesday” as panic selling drove the Sensex down over 1,500 points, wiping out more than Rs 10,00,000 crore of investor wealth in a single session. Market-cap losses on BSE-listed firms deepened, with total losses since the February war now exceeding Rs 60 lakh crore, sparked by worsening geopolitical signals and a “life support” warning tied to a West Asia ceasefire.
Indian markets opened lower and extended losses as the rupee slid to a fresh record low. The move was tied to higher oil prices amid Middle East tensions, following US President Trump’s rejection of an Iran peace proposal. Weakness spread across sectors with IT stocks leading declines, as global uncertainty and foreign institutional selling added to bearish sentiment.
Monday saw a sharp broad-market drop, with the Nifty falling 360 points and the Sensex slipping over 1.7%. Yet within that red backdrop, several major counters swung to the top of the movers list, including SBI, IndiGo, and Titan. The day highlighted how stock-specific momentum can diverge from index-wide weakness.

Dalal Street opened lower and spiraled as the BSE Sensex fell about 1,093 points to 76,235 and the Nifty slid past 24,000 to 23,870 on Monday morning. A sharp rise in Brent crude and escalating US Iran tensions rattled risk appetite, wiping roughly ₹4.8 lakh crore in investor wealth. Banking and auto stocks drove the selloff as volatility jumped.
Indian markets slid sharply on Monday as the Sensex tumbled about 1,000 points and the Nifty fell below 23,900, wiping out significant value. The selloff was linked to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for energy conservation and growing uncertainty around the chances of an Iran–US peace deal. Investors reacted fast to both domestic and geopolitical cues.
In the five sessions ending May 08, the Sensex gained just 0.54% to close at 77,328, advancing in only two of those days. Yet 42 BSE 500 stocks advanced every single session between May 4 and May 08, and 14 of them delivered cumulative gains up to 25%.
Indian markets ended lower on Friday as renewed US-Iran tensions hit sentiment, while investors weighed possible fallout for corporate earnings and input costs. Even as Nifty 50 and Sensex dipped during the day, weekly gains held firm, aided by a drop in oil prices. Sector performance was uneven, with banking stocks under pressure.
