Historical Background

The market's recovery comes after a relatively cautious period. On Friday (September 11, 2026), Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹930.90 crore, leading to a slight dip in the indices. Additionally, the domestic market was closed on Monday due to Ganesh Chaturthi, allowing traders to recalibrate their positions before Tuesday's rally.
