India's Sensex jumps 776 points, snapping a five day losing streak
27 July 2026 | 3 months ago
India's stock market rose about one percent on Monday, 27 July 2026, snapping a five day losing streak. The BSE Sensex closed up 776.01 points, or 1.02 percent, at 76,835.78, while the NSE Nifty 50 gained 228.50 points, or 0.96 percent, to end at 23,995.95.
Information technology and banking stocks led the advance. Indian financial media cited two drivers behind the improvement in sentiment: the fall in Brent crude prices and the temporary pause in US strikes on Iran. India is Asia's largest crude importer after China, and energy costs weigh directly on its trade deficit and inflation.
