Indian Stock Market Rebounds: Nifty50 and BSE Sensex Rise on Tech Gains

On 4 December 2025, Indian equity indices Nifty50 and BSE Sensex ended the trading day with notable gains, reversing a four-day losing streak. The BSE Sensex increased by 158.51 points, or 0.19 per cent, finishing at 85,265.32. During the session, it peaked at 85,487.21, marking a rise of 380.4 points, or 0.44 per cent. Meanwhile, the National Stock Exchange's Nifty index progressed by 47.75 points, or 0.18 per cent, closing at 26,033.75. The previous four trading days had seen the Sensex fall by about 613 points, a 0.72 per cent decrease, and the Nifty drop by nearly 230 points, or 0.8 per cent.

Key players in the Sensex included Tata Consultancy Services, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, and HCL Technologies, which all contributed to the market's recovery. On the downside, stocks such as Maruti Suzuki and Kotak Mahindra Bank faced losses.

According to data from the stock exchanges, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold equities valued at ₹3,206.92 crore on Wednesday, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) bought stocks worth ₹4,730.41 crore. Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments Limited, commented on the market dynamics, stating, "Domestic markets closed flat amid mixed global cues and caution ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy. Early value-driven gains were restrained by a record-low rupee and persistent FII outflows. However, lowered expectations of an RBI rate cut supported a mild currency rebound, helping indices stabilise towards the close."

Globally, Asian markets exhibited mixed results. South Korea's Kospi and China's Shanghai Composite Index both fell, while Japan's Nikkei 225 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index finished in positive territory. European stock markets also traded higher, and the US markets closed positively the previous day.

In commodities, the global oil benchmark, Brent crude, saw an uptick of 0.38 per cent, reaching USD 62.91 per barrel. On the previous day, the Sensex had declined slightly by 31.46 points, or 0.04 per cent, to close at 85,106.81, while the Nifty fell by 46.20 points, or 0.18 per cent, to 25,986.

Overall, the recovery in the Indian markets marks a significant turnaround, driven largely by performance in the IT sector amid global market fluctuations. Investors will be closely watching future developments, particularly from the Reserve Bank of India, as they seek guidance on monetary policy and its implications for market stability.
