Indian stock market rebounded on Wednesday, September 30 as key equity indices-- Sensex and Nifty-- traded in green after erasing two days of losing momentum amid easing crude oil prices and value buying in blue-chip IT stocks. In early trade, Sensex, the 30-share index of BSE, advanced 190 points to 72,733.04. At the same time, the 50-share NSE Nifty was up 22 points to 22,735.20.
“Indian equities opened on a relatively steady note, offering some respite after the recent stretch of weakness, as a moderation in crude oil prices provided an early lift to sentiment. The gains, however, remain measured, with investors still cautious amid persistent geopolitical uncertainty and the risk of further disruptions to global energy supplies,” said Ponmudi R, CEO Of Enrich Money.
