Daily Market Wrap-Up: Markets Snap 5-Day Losing Streak as Crude Slips; Nifty Ends Near 24,000

Summary

Indian benchmark equity indices staged a strong recovery on Monday, July 27, 2026, snapping a five-day losing streak. The rally was primarily fueled by a sharp plunge in Brent crude oil prices (~9.4% down to ~$87.64/bbl) following a pause in West Asia geopolitical tensions, which significantly eased India’s import cost and inflation concerns.

The Nifty 50 surged 228.50 points (+0.96%) to settle at 23,995.95, hovering right below the psychological 24,000 mark after touching an intraday high of 24,011.60. Meanwhile, the BSE Sensex jumped 776.01 points (+1.02%) to close at 76,835.78.
