Indian equity benchmarks reverse earlier weakness and finish Monday’s trading higher after a roller-coaster session. The BSE Sensex ends up 107.25 points (0.13%) at 81,106.65, while the NSE Nifty 50 rises 58.25 points (0.23%) to close at 25,044.65. Multiple outlets note the indices dip intraday—Sensex falls toward 80,519 and Nifty slips below 25,000—before a late recovery helps erase much of the loss.
Coverage attributes the rebound mainly to buying concentrated in banking-related stocks, including PSU Bank exposure, alongside sectoral weakness in IT. The Economic Times and other reports link the improvement to foreign portfolio activity coinciding with crude oil declines, and discuss investors weighing profit-taking and valuation comfort. Some outlets also emphasise how sharply volatile the day was, highlighting that neither index fully recovers its opening high by the close.
Several reports provide similar end-of-day numbers, but differ in which midday or intraday details they foreground—such as Nifty levels around midday (24,882, below 25,000) or specific sector leaders and laggards.
