India’s Nifty and Sensex close week higher as geopolitics persists
The week ended with the Nifty 50 up about 0.5% to 24,334.30 and the Sensex up nearly 0.8% to 78,151.45, supported by better-than-expected Q1 FY27 IT earnings.
India’s benchmark stock indexes closed the week higher, extending a recovery even as geopolitical tensions, higher crude oil prices, and uncertainty around the global interest rate outlook weighed on sentiment, according to LiveMint Markets.
The Nifty 50 rose about 0.5% to close at 24,334.30, while the Sensex advanced nearly 0.8% to settle at 78,151.45, with buying interest in financial stocks and better domestic fundamentals helping drive the gains.
LiveMint Markets also pointed to improved Q1 FY27 earnings from the IT sector, highlighting TCS as a key outperformer after gaining nearly 10% during the week.
Looking ahead, the outlet said investors will keep tracking foreign institutional investor flows, global bond yields, rupee moves, crude oil prices, and US macroeconomic data, with the southwest monsoon progress also seen as a key domestic factor for agricultural output, food inflation, and rural demand. It added that the earnings season continues into the next week, with more than 250 companies scheduled to report results for the quarter ending June 30, 2026, including Infosys, Paytm, Zomato, IndiGo, Meesho, and BPCL.
