Why Is Indian Stock Market Rising Today?

"The gains that we are seeing in today's trading session in the Sensex and Nifty are due to a good mix of domestic and external factors. Improved investor mood after reduced rate fears, consistent flows of foreign money, strength in major sectors like banking, finance, and capital goods, and optimism about company earnings and ongoing government efforts on infrastructure development have helped the gains," explained Siddharth Maurya, Founder & Managing Director, Vibhavangal Anukulakara Pvt. Ltd.

FII Buyers

Return of FII buyers to Dalal-street is among the key reasons behind the recent stock market rally. FIIs bought equities worth Rs 243.03 crore on Monday. The stock market gain is "supported by encouraging Q1 business updates from leading private sector banks, which boosted sentiment in the Banking and Financial sectors. Investor confidence was further strengthened by sustained foreign institutional inflows, stable crude oil prices, and positive global market cues," explained Gaurav Garg, Research Analyst at Lemonn Markets Desk.

Although FPI buying has not seen a strong revival, the halt in FII selling signals a meaningful shift in market sentiment, suggesting that the market is being supported by strong fundamentals.

Crude Oil Price Stability

Crude oil prices have seen sharp correction over the past few days after the announcement of Iran-US peace deal and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Crude oil prices are now trading close to their pre-war levels of $70 per barrel.

Brent crude oil was trading above $72 per barrel on Tuesday, as per Trading Economics data. The crude oil remain close to its four-month low mark amid recovery in the vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

Revival in Corporate Earnings

Multiple updates coming from different companies related to the first quarter of the financial year 2026-27 hints at strong corporate earnings growth during the period. Corporate earnings are expected to grow at around 15% CAGR during FY26-28 despite the near-term pressure in Q1FY27. Easing energy prices, improving macro stability and healthier earnings visibility are strengthening the investment outlook for India, as per Motilal Oswal report.

For the coming days, market participants will closely track the upcoming June-quarter earnings season, with corporate results and management commentary, as per Gaurav Garg, Research Analyst at Lemonn Markets Desk.
