Sensex, Nifty on April 27, 2026

The Indian Stock Market bounced back after three days of consecutive downfall, with Nifty settling near 24,093 and the BSE Sensex around 77,304. The benchmark indices jumped due to broad-based buying, led by pharma, while midcaps and smallcaps outperformed and volatility eased, though elevated crude and a weaker rupee kept the macro backdrop fragile.

FIIs continued with their unabated selling as they offloaded equities worth Rs 8,828 crores while DIIs infused Rs 4,701 crores to buy equities. Foreign investors continued to sell, but strong domestic institutional buying absorbed the pressure.
