Indian equities recovered strongly after Wednesday's sharp selloff, with Sensex gaining over 238 points to close at 76,742 and Nifty rising 81 points to end at 23,963. The recovery was broad-based, with the Nifty Smallcap 100 and Nifty Midcap 100 indices gaining up to 2%. This came as India VIX crashed around 10% to 13.27 after skyrocketing 26% in the previous session, reflecting improved market sentiment and reduced volatility expectations. The renewed optimism was led by mid and small-cap stocks, with realty and PSU banks bouncing back strongly after their recent correction. As of 8:10 am, Gift Nifty was trading 0.1% higher, up 21.50 points, at 24,124, which serves as an indicator to gauge market sentiment ahead of the trading session.
Market momentum is being supported by technical indicators showing positive trends across multiple segments. According to StockEdge.com data, five stocks in the Nifty500 segment gained over 5% on July 9, highlighted in the RSI Trending Up scan. An uptrend signal is generated when the RSI value crosses above 50 from lower levels, indicating that Relative Strength Index values are rising and suggesting strengthening momentum in stock price action. This technical pattern is often used by traders to identify buying opportunities in momentum-driven markets, supporting the broader market recovery and suggesting potential for continued upward movement in the near term.
The positive sentiment in Indian markets is supported by favorable global cues, as reported by ET Now. Following Thursday's gains, the S&P 500 is up about 10% in 2026 and remains less than 1% below its June 2 record closing high, according to Reuters. The pan-European STOXX 600 index remained up 0.7% with tech stocks up 2.6%, while Brent crude futures were down 0.62% to nearly $77.54 after running higher to nearly $79 a barrel earlier in the day. The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index gained 5% in early trading to be on track for a second straight positive session. The combination of domestic market strength and positive global cues is creating a supportive environment for continued gains in Indian markets.
