Domestic stocks staged a strong recovery from intraday lows on September 11, with the Nifty 50 rebounding 0.72% from its low but still closing 0.34% lower at 23,398. The Sensex also recovered sharply from its lows but closed 0.16% lower at 74,780. According to reports from MarketSmith India, this recovery was triggered by crude oil prices retreating after their recent surge, which benefited oil-sensitive stocks. The latest sell-off had pushed frontline indices into oversold territory, prompting value buying at lower levels. Sentiment remained cautious amid elevated crude oil prices, rising U.S. bond yields and persistent geopolitical tensions in West Asia.
