Indian equity benchmarks extended their recent recovery on Thursday, with the Sensex and Nifty 50 posting gains of more than half a percent around midday.
The rally was supported by a further decline in crude oil prices, which has helped ease input cost pressures and improve sentiment among domestic investors.
Trading activity was concentrated in a handful of high-beta names.
Vodafone Idea, Motherson Sumi Wiring India, and YES Bank emerged as the most traded stocks on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
Precious metal exchange-traded funds, including Tata Silver and Tata Gold ETFs, also saw significant turnover, reflecting continued investor interest in safe-haven assets alongside risk-on equity positioning.
The market’s upward trajectory follows a reversal of early losses on Wednesday, June 24, when the Nifty 50 bounced back amid cooling geopolitical tensions and softer energy costs.
