Indian Stocks Rebound

2026-08-05 04:30 By Jereli Escobar 1 min. read

India’s BSE Sensex rose about 0.5% to 78,822 at the open on Wednesday, rebounding after snapping a four-session winning streak in the previous session.

The advance came as investors positioned ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy decision, with markets widely expecting the central bank to leave interest rates unchanged at 5.25%.

Sentiment was further supported by a decline in global crude oil prices to around $78.5 per barrel.

Market participants, however, remained attentive to the impact of India's recently introduced closing auction mechanism for derivative-linked stocks, which has contributed to heightened volatility in benchmark index movements near the close of trading.

Among notable movers included NIACL (8.8%), Morepen (7.1%), Bluestone (4.9%), and Deepak (2.9%).

Looking ahead, markets will focus on the RBI's policy decision, along with crude oil prices, inflation, and monsoon progress, for cues on the outlook for the Indian economy and equities.

Sensex Closes Lower
India’s BSE Sensex reversed course to close about 0.3% down at 78,429 on Tuesday, halting a four-day advance, as investors booked profits amid Middle East uncertainty that caused a fresh rise in oil prices and ahead of RBI's policy decision due tomorrow. While the central bank is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged, investors will be looking for signs of a more hawkish stance as inflation remains above the central bank's comfort level. At the same time,market participants continued to adjust to the new closing-auction mechanism for stocks with futures and options contracts, introduced on Monday. Among individual stocks, the biggest laggards were Hindustan Unilever (-1.7%), NTPC (-1.6%), HDFC Bank (-1.5%), Reliance (-1.2%), IndiGo (-1.1%) and Tech Mahindra (-0.6%). On the upside, Trent (1.2%), Bajaj Finance (1.1%), BEL (0.9%), Tata Steel (0.6%), Mahindra & Mahindra (0.6%) and Bajaj Finserv (0.6%) posted the largest gains.
