Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty snapped a two-day losing streak on Friday, closing higher on the back of gains in IT stocks and positive global cues. The BSE Sensex rose 331 points to 77,265, while the Nifty gained 85 points to 24,176, according to Times of India. The Nifty IT index surged 3.5%, with stocks like TCS, Infosys, and Tech Mahindra leading gains.
The rally was driven by Nvidia's strong quarterly results, which boosted sentiment in AI-linked stocks globally, Livemint reported. However, investor participation remained selective as markets awaited the US Federal Reserve Chair's speech at the Jackson Hole symposium for cues on interest rates. Oil prices declined, with Brent crude falling to USD 87.63 per barrel, amid diplomatic efforts to ease US-Iran tensions. The rupee strengthened to 95.39 per dollar. Markets now await further direction from global macro events and domestic earnings trends.
