Sensex Rebounds at Open After 4-Day Fall

2026-03-05 04:27 By Jereli Escobar 1 min. read

India’s BSE Sensex edged up around 0.3% up at 79,381 on Thursday morning trade, bouncing back from a four-day losing streak as most sectors moved into positive territory, except for technology, consumer non-durables and commercial services, which posted modest declines.

The index rose, tracking a rebound across Asian markets after several days of sharp sell-offs, as gains on Wall Street lifted investor sentiment.

Last Wednesday’s HSBC final PMI data showed the composite PMI rising to 58.9 in February from 58.4, while the services PMI slipped to 58.1 from 58.5.

Despite downward revisions, both still pointed to strong sector growth.

However, markets may remain volatile amid rising crude oil prices, continued foreign institutional investor (FII) selling, escalating US-Iran geopolitical tensions, and broader global uncertainty.

Among the early gainers were Jindal Drilling and Industries (+8.9%), Tata Investment (+6.2%), Chennai Petroleum (+4.8%), and GE Vernova T&D (+4%).

Sensex Falls to 2015-Lows
India's BSE Sensex closed about 1.4% down at 79,116 on Wednesday, a low level not seen since April 2015, extending losses for a fourth straight session. Market participants remained cautious amid uncertainty over how long the conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran will last, with concerns over energy disruptions weighing. Economists and analysts noted that India’s strong dependence on oil imports makes it vulnerable to inflation, a deteriorating trade deficit, a weaker rupee, and slower growth, putting corporate earnings at risk if the conflict persists. Selling pressure was visible across several sectors, including metals, financials, autos and capital goods. Tata Steel, Larsen & Toubro, InterGlobe Aviation, UltraTech Cement, Maruti and NTPC were among the biggest laggards. Bucking the broader trend, Infosys and Bharti Airtel saw gains.
