Markets Recover After Early Volatility as Sensex Turns Green, Nifty Reclaims 24,000 Mark

Indian equity markets staged a mild recovery on Tuesday, with benchmark indices returning to the green after a volatile start to the trading session. The BSE Sensex gained around 45 points during intraday trade, while the NSE Nifty50 climbed back above the psychologically important 24,000 level, reflecting cautious optimism among investors.

The rebound came despite continued uncertainty in global markets triggered by rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and concerns over energy prices. Investors remained focused on developments surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and fresh US-Iran tensions, which have kept crude oil markets volatile over the past few sessions.

Market experts said investors were balancing optimism from strong domestic fundamentals against fears of global instability. Banking, financial, and information technology stocks offered support to the benchmark indices, helping the market recover from early losses.

Analysts noted that Monday’s sharp rally had improved overall market sentiment after expectations of easing geopolitical tensions and stable foreign investment inflows boosted buying activity. However, traders continued to remain selective, with profit-booking visible in several heavyweight sectors.

Midcap and smallcap stocks also witnessed steady buying interest, indicating broader market participation beyond frontline indices. Auto and infrastructure stocks showed resilience, while some telecom and FMCG counters traded under pressure during the day.

Foreign institutional investor (FII) activity, crude oil movement, and global bond yields remained key factors influencing investor sentiment. Any sharp rise in oil prices could increase inflation concerns for India, which heavily depends on crude imports.

Experts believe the Nifty sustaining above the 24,000 mark could strengthen bullish momentum in the near term. However, they warned that volatility may continue as global investors closely monitor developments in the Middle East and upcoming economic data from major economies.

Traders are also keeping an eye on central bank signals, corporate earnings outlook, and global risk appetite, all of which are expected to shape market direction in the coming sessions.
