Indian equity benchmarks staged a recovery on Thursday, July 9, with the Sensex and Nifty 50 both rising approximately 0.7%.
The gains marked a partial reversal of steep losses incurred in the previous session, as broad-based buying interest returned across key sectors.
Realty and healthcare stocks led the advance, signaling a rotation into defensive and domestic-demand plays despite lingering geopolitical uncertainties that have periodically weighed on market sentiment.
The rebound follows a period of volatility driven by external risk factors, including tensions in the Middle East that have previously disrupted energy supply chains and pressured global risk assets.
As these pressures moderated, foreign portfolio investors resumed buying, supporting the indices' fourth consecutive session of gains earlier in the week.
The current session’s recovery suggests that domestic liquidity and sector-specific strength are beginning to offset external headwinds.
