Sensex rises 190 points in early trade after two days of losses

Market benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty rebounded in early trade on Wednesday (September 30, 2026) after two days of losses amid easing crude oil prices and buying in blue-chip IT stocks.

The 30-share BSE Sensex advanced 190 points to 72,733.04 in early trade. The 50-share NSE Nifty was up 22 points to 22,735.20.

From the 30 Sensex firms, Tata Consultancy Services, Tech Mahindra, HCL Tech, InterGlobe Aviation, ICICI Bank, and Trent were among the major winners.

Adani Ports, HDFC Bank, Sun Pharma, and NTPC were among the laggards.

Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, traded 0.68% higher at $103.3 per barrel.

“Indian equities are likely to find some relief at the open as a sharp pullback in crude oil prices eases one of the key pressures that has weighed on domestic markets in recent sessions,” Ponmudi R., CEO of Enrich Money, an online trading and wealth-tech firm, said.

The moderation in oil prices, however, comes against a backdrop of continued uncertainty over the U.S.-Iran conflict and the outlook for regional energy supplies, he added.

In Asian markets, South Korea’s KOSPI and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index traded lower, while Shanghai’s SSE Composite index and Japan’s Nikkei 225 index quoted marginally higher.

U.S. markets ended lower on Tuesday (September 29, 2026).

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹9,980.22 crore on Tuesday (September 29, 2026), according to exchange data.

On Tuesday (September 29, 2026), the Sensex dropped 242.65 points, or 0.33%, to settle at 72,529.07. The Nifty declined 64.05 points, or 0.28%, to end at 22,716.20.
