Market benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty rebounded in early trade on Monday (July 27, 2026) following a sharp decline in crude oil prices amid easing tensions in the West Asia.
The 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 566 points to 76,608.66 in early trade. The 50-share NSE Nifty surged 153.60 points to 23,923.30.
“Market sentiment has improved meaningfully over the weekend after the U.S. and Iran paused military action, easing fears of an immediate supply disruption. Brent crude has corrected sharply, offering a significant tailwind for India through lower inflation expectations, an improved current account outlook and reduced pressure on the rupee,” Rajesh Palviya, Head of Research, Axis Direct, said.
From the Sensex pack, InterGlobe Aviation, Infosys, Eternal, Asian Paints, Bajaj Finance and Bajaj Finance were among the major gainers.
Bharti Airtel and ICICI Bank were the laggards.
Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, tanked 4% lower at $92.84 per barrel.
“The sharp dip in Brent crude price from $102 four days ago to around $93 this morning is a positive sentiment for the market. If the de-escalation of the West Asia conflict holds and crude price drifts lower, that can sustain a mild rally in the market,” V.K. Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited, said.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹3,892.77 crore on Friday (July 25, 2026), according to exchange data.
In Asian markets, South Korea’s KOSPI traded lower, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 index, Shanghai’s SSE Composite index and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index were also trading higher.
U.S. markets ended mostly higher.
On Friday (July 25, 2026), the Sensex declined 331.62 points, or 0.43%, to settle at 76,059.77. The Nifty dipped 102.15 points, or 0.43%, to end at 23,767.45.
