Sensex Rises Over 600 Points, Nifty Ends Seven-Day Losing Streak on Global Cues
Indian stock markets rebounded sharply on August 20, with the Sensex rising over 600 points and the Nifty surpassing 24,200, ending a seven-day losing streak. The rally was driven by easing US Treasury bond yields following increased buybacks, positive global cues from Asian markets, and foreign institutional investor buying. Gains were broad-based, led by IT and financial sectors, while market volatility declined. Despite optimism, concerns remain over high crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions affecting inflation and corporate profits.
