Markets End Higher but Lose Momentum as Volatility Drags Indices Off Intraday Highs<\/p>\n

Indian equity markets managed to close higher on Thursday, snapping a four-day losing streak, but the recovery lost steam midway as intense volatility pulled benchmark indices off their intraday peaks. The Sensex dropped nearly 200 points from its day\u2019s high, while the Nifty slipped below the 26,050 mark before recovering marginally towards the close.<\/p>\n

Despite the late-session pullback, the broader tone remained cautious as investors positioned themselves ahead of the RBI\u2019s monetary policy announcement, scheduled for Friday. IT stocks delivered strong support, helping the market stay afloat, even as financials, metals and aviation names weighed on sentiment.<\/p>\n

IT Stocks Lead the Market Rebound as Weak Rupee and Fed Expectations Boost Sector Appetite<\/h2>\n

After a four-session slide, benchmark indices staged a rebound driven primarily by IT heavyweights. Companies such as TCS, Infosys, Tech Mahindra and HCL Tech gained traction, supported by optimism around a potential U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut and a weaker rupee, which typically enhances dollar-denominated earnings for the tech sector.<\/p>\n

Renewed buying interest in IT names helped offset weakness in financials, where stocks like HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank continued to struggle. Broader markets, however, remained subdued with limited participation, and IndiGo\u2019s parent company declined again, extending losses amid ongoing disruptions from flight cancellations.<\/p>\n

Market breadth highlighted the underlying weakness: out of 4,302 traded stocks, only 1,817 advanced, while 2,303 declined and 182 remained unchanged. Additionally, 80 stocks hit 52-week highs, while 261 touched new lows, reflecting the contrast between selective sector strength and broad market fatigue.<\/p>\n

Benchmarks Witness Intraday Swings as Profit-Booking Caps Gains<\/h2>\n

Both indices opened weak, with the Sensex falling 156.83 points to 84,949.98 and the Nifty slipping 47 points to 25,938.95. Markets later recovered strongly, with the Sensex jumping 369.80 points to 85,476.62 and the Nifty climbing to 26,096.25, up 110.25 points.<\/p>\n

However, sustained profit-booking and global headwinds saw the indices relinquish most of those gains. The Sensex eventually settled 158.51 points (0.19%) higher at 85,265.32, while the Nifty ended just below previous levels at 26,033.75, down 47.75 points or 0.18%.<\/p>\n

IT stocks continued to dominate the leaderboard, while aviation and financials dragged.<\/p>\n
