Sensex Surges 900 Points, Boosting Market Value to ₹6 Lakh Crore: A Day of Unprecedented Gains Explained
Indian Stock Market Sees Strong Buying Interest
On Thursday, March 5, the Indian stock market experienced a significant rebound, driven by strong buying interest and short covering. The benchmark indices showed a notable increase, with the Sensex jumping 900 points (1.14%) to close at 80,015.90. The Nifty 50 also saw a gain of 1.17% to end at 24,765.90.
The market's rebound was broad-based, with the BSE 150 MidCap Index rising 1.44% and the BSE 250 SmallCap Index climbing 1.38%. The overall market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms increased by ₹6 lakh crore to ₹453 lakh crore, up from ₹447.2 lakh crore in the previous session.
According to experts, the recent selloff had placed the Sensex in the oversold territory, prompting a technical rebound. The surge in crude oil prices and persistent geopolitical tensions in West Asia did not seem to impact the market significantly, as the rebound appears largely driven by technical and derivative factors.
