India's BSE Sensex concluded Wednesday's trading session slightly up, advancing 0.2% to reach 81,330.6. This movement marked a modest recovery following the most significant drop in over a month earlier this week. The market was buoyed by indications of declining retail inflation, fueling optimism for potential rate reductions by the Reserve Bank of India in the forthcoming months. Moreover, the less aggressive-than-expected inflation data from the United States eased investor concerns regarding the inflationary repercussions of U.S. tariff strategies, which had previously dampened expectations for immediate rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. The day's gains were primarily driven by the metals, IT, and real estate sectors, although these were partially counterbalanced by weaknesses within the banking sector. Highlighting individual company performance, Tata Steel enjoyed a notable rise of 3.9% following its announcement of a robust capital expenditure agenda for the fiscal year 2026.
