Daily Market Wrap-Up: Benchmarks Rebound as Sensex Gains 360+ Points; Metals & Financials Drive Recovery (September 04, 2026)
📈 Executive Summary
Indian benchmark equity indices snapped a four-session losing streak to end in the green on Friday, September 04, 2026. Positive global cues, a pullback in US Treasury yields, and strong buying across metals, private banking, and oil & gas heavyweights helped the indices recover from recent weakness.
The BSE Sensex gained 362.57 points (+0.48%) to settle at 76,515.43, while the Nifty 50 advanced 24.25 points (+0.10%) to close at 23,897.70. Bank Nifty ended essentially flat, down slightly by 10.95 points (-0.02%) to finish at 57,369.65. Market sentiment was supported by broad-based accumulation in large-cap heavyweights like Reliance Industries and Tata Steel, neutralizing profit-taking in auto and IT counters.
