Mumbai, September 4 (Daily Kiran) : The Indian stock market made a significant recovery on September 4, 2026, closing higher after four days of losses. The Sensex climbed by 362.57 points, or 0.48%, finishing at 76,515.43. The Nifty also saw an increase, gaining 24.25 points, or 0.10%, to settle at 23,897.70.
The day’s gains were primarily driven by the metal and commodities sectors. The Nifty Metal index rose by 1.07%, while the Nifty Commodities index increased by 0.55%. Other sectors that performed well included Nifty Financial Services (up 0.49%), Nifty India Defense (up 0.39%), and Nifty Media (up 0.30%). In contrast, the Nifty Realty index fell by 0.90%, followed by declines in Nifty Healthcare (down 0.87%) and Nifty Pharma (down 0.68%).
Midcap and small-cap stocks showed mixed results. The Nifty Midcap 100 index dropped by 156.15 points, or 0.25%, to close at 63,079.05, whereas the Nifty Smallcap 100 index gained 44.70 points, or 0.22%, ending at 20,095.45.
Experts noted that the market’s upswing was partly due to a reduced likelihood of interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve. However, profit-taking at elevated levels and ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East limited the gains. Investors are closely watching upcoming U.S. employment data, as well as retail inflation figures next week, which may help gauge future interest rate trends. A slight decrease in core inflation in August could strengthen expectations that the Fed might pause rate increases, potentially stabilizing bond yields.
