The Indian stock market rebounded today, with the Sensex climbing over 400 points to cross 78,900, and the Nifty 50 rising 119 points to reach 24,473. This upward movement added nearly ₹3 lakh crore to the total market capitalization, now standing at ₹468 lakh crore. Key contributors to this surge included a strengthening Indian rupee, which opened at 92.8250 against the US dollar, and continued buying by foreign institutional investors (FIIs), who net purchased shares worth ₹683 crore. This marked the third consecutive day of net buying, although it followed a significant sell-off of over ₹1.6 lakh crore earlier this year. Additionally, oil prices, while rising, remained below the critical $100 per barrel mark, providing some stability to market sentiments.
