Indian equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty staged a strong comeback in early trade on Friday, following a four-day losing streak. The rally was supported by positive cues from Asian and US markets.

  • BSE Sensex jumped 531.88 points (0.70%) to 76,684.74.

  • Asian markets showed broad-based gains, providing global support.

Indian equity benchmark indices, the Sensex and Nifty, bounced back sharply in early trade on Friday (September 4, 2026). This recovery comes after a grueling four-day period of sharp declines, as investors reacted positively to a rally in Asian markets and overnight gains in Wall Street.

The 30-share BSE Sensex surged by 531.88 points, or 0.70%, to reach 76,684.74 in the morning session. Similarly, the 50-share NSE Nifty advanced 78.25 points, or 0.33%, to settle at 23,951.70.

Market Movers: Gainers and Laggards

Among the Sensex constituents, heavyweights such as Bajaj Finserv, Bharat Electronics Ltd, IndiGo, Trent, and Reliance Industries led the charge. Other notable gainers included Infosys, Titan, Adani Ports, and HDFC Bank. On the flip side, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, and Asian Paints faced selling pressure, acting as laggards in the early trade.

The current rebound appears to be a technical correction following the recent heavy selling pressure in the domestic markets.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that the domestic recovery is deeply intertwined with global sentiment. The broad-based rally across Asia—highlighted by a 2% climb in Hong Kong’s Hang Seng and a 1.11% gain in Japan’s Nikkei 225—has provided the necessary liquidity and confidence for Indian traders. Furthermore, the 1% rise in US markets overnight has set a bullish tone for global equities.

Institutional Activity and Oil Trends

Despite the market rebound, investor activity remains split. According to exchange data, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹2,345.87 crore on Thursday. However, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) acted as a crucial cushion, net purchasing equities worth ₹4,977.46 crore. Meanwhile, global energy markets remained volatile as Brent crude rose 0.48% to $95.98 per barrel, a factor that could impact inflation and market stability in the coming weeks.
