Sensex Recovers in Morning Trade

2026-03-10 04:24 By Jereli Escobar 1 min. read

India’s BSE Sensex rose around 0.4% up at 77,852 in morning trade on Tuesday, rebounding from two sessions of sharp losses, after Asian markets rallied and investor sentiment improved following reports that US President Trump said the Middle East war could end soon.

Oil prices also plunged as expectations of easing conflict risks reduced supply concerns, helping lift global market sentiment.

Most sectoral indices posted gains, except for technology, energy minerals, and communication, which recorded modest declines.

Among individual stocks, early gainers included R Systems (+6.7%), Tejas Networks (+4.3%), InterGlobe (+2.9%), Larsen & Toubro (+2.1%), BSE Ltd (+1.6%), and ICICI Bank (+1.4%).

Meanwhile, equity markets may remain volatile as geopolitical risks, rapid movements in crude prices, and shifting foreign capital flows continue to drive uncertainty.

Sensex Follow Asian Peers Lower
India’s BSE Sensex Index dropped nearly 2% to below 71,700 on Thursday, after a strong 1.8% gain in the previous session, as sentiment weakened across Asian markets following US President Donald Trump’s remarks on the Iran conflict. During his televised speech, Trump said Washington’s “core strategic objectives” in the war were nearing completion but stopped short of providing a clear timeline for its end, instead warning that the US could strike Iran “extremely hard” over the next two to three weeks. The lack of a clear de-escalation path reignited geopolitical concerns, driving crude oil prices higher and weighing on regional equities. Nearly all sectors declined, led by financials and banking stocks. Notable losses were seen from HDFC Bank (-1.1%), Axis Bank (-2.7%), Bajaj Finance (-2.2%), and Shriram Finance (-3.4%). On the macro side, markets await final figures for manufacturing PMI to gauge the country' s economic health.
