Indian indices

After seeing a brutal opening, the Indian indices have staged a smart recovery to end April 2, 2026, near the day's high. The initial panic was fueled by escalating geopolitical tensions in West Asia and a spike in Brent crude prices. But resilient buying particularly in the IT sector and a strong rupee led the markets to close higher. At close, the Sensex was up 185.23 points or 0.25% at 73,319.55, and the Nifty was up 33.70 points or 0.15% at 22,713.10.
