Sensex Recovers After 2-Day Fall

2026-09-30 04:49 By Jereli Escobar 1 min. read

India’s BSE Sensex edged up about 0.3% to 72,740 on Wednesday, recovering two sessions of losses as easing oil prices and improving Middle East export activity lifted sentiment, despite continued uncertainty over the lack of a US-Iran peace agreement.

Brent crude rose 1.1% to around $103.7 a barrel after a sharp decline the previous session, while US Treasury yields fell as traders scaled back October rate-hike bets following comments from a Fed official that policymakers had time to assess incoming data.

Among stocks, Power Mech Projects gained about 3.8% after reportedly securing a 5.49 billion-rupee order from Adani Group’s Moxie Power Generation.

TCS (1.8%), HFCL (5.0%), and Sterlite Tech (5.0%) also gained.

Foreign investors sold 99.8 billion rupees ($1.04 billion) of Indian equities on Tuesday, their biggest daily outflow in about four months, taking September selling to $2.7 billion and year-to-date net sales to $26.75 billion.

The benchmark remains down about 5.6% this month.
