Equity benchmark Nifty rebounded after a seven-session losing streak, gaining over half a percent to close above the 24,200 mark, supported by a recovery in global markets. Easing US Treasury yields improved global risk sentiment, while fresh foreign fund inflows and encouraging quarterly earnings further strengthened market optimism. Additionally, bargain hunting emerged after the Nifty had declined nearly 2% over the previous seven trading sessions.

• The Nifty advanced 153 points, or 0.6%, to close at 24,231. Sugar stocks emerged as the biggest gainers, supported by a surge in raw sugar prices to a 15-month high and expectations of stronger demand ahead of the festive season. Balrampur Chini surged 18% to an all-time high of Rs 767, while Renuka Sugar, Dhampur Sugar, Bajaj Hindusthan, and Dalmia Bharat Sugar gained up to 10%.

• Realty stocks also witnessed strong buying interest, with the Nifty Realty Index advancing 1.4%. Brigade Enterprises, Oberoi Realty, AB Real Estate, Lodha, and Sobha gained up to 7%. The Nifty IT Index also rose nearly 1%, supported by a decline in the US Dollar Index to a three-month low below the 100 mark. Coforge, Persistent Systems, Infosys, and Wipro gained up to 3%.

• Overnight, US markets advanced 0.5%, while Asian markets witnessed a sharp rally after the US Treasury Department unexpectedly announced plans to increase buybacks of long-dated government debt, signalling efforts to ease borrowing costs after Treasury yields had climbed to multi-decade highs.
