Snapping the four-day losing streak, the benchmark Sensex jumped nearly 483 points, and Nifty closed above 22,750 on Monday (October 26, 2026), driven by value buying and a rally in metal, telecommunications, and healthcare shares.

Recovering from early losses, the 30-share BSE Sensex ended 482.92 points, or 0.66%, higher at 73,606.75.

During the day, it hit a high of 73,606.75 and a low of 72,514.57, a range of 1,092.18 points.

Bajaj Finance, HDFC Bank, Maruti, HCL Tech and Power Grid were the laggards.

"Indian equities recovered from early losses, supported by value buying and strength in metals, power and healthcare.

However, elevated crude prices, geopolitical uncertainty, and caution ahead of Fed, ECB (European Central Bank), and BoJ (Bank of Japan) policy decisions kept sentiment measured.

"Mid and smallcaps also witnessed some recovery after last week’s sharp correction, although investors remained selective, favouring earnings visibility and valuation comfort," Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said.

Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, declined 1.60% to $114.8 per barrel.
