India’s BSE Sensex rose about 0.4% to 77,221 on Wednesday, recovering from losses in the previous session, though gains could be limited by elevated oil prices and continued foreign outflows. Brent crude hovered around $112 per barrel amid rising geopolitical tensions, as the US-Iran conflict remained unresolved following reports that US President Donald Trump had instructed aides to prepare for a prolonged blockade of Iranian ports. Investors also remained cautious ahead of the upcoming Federal Reserve System policy decision, with guidance on interest rates and liquidity expected to shape global capital flows and sentiment toward emerging markets. Top gainers included Garden Reach (+14.4%), Bandhan Bank (+9%), Emmvee (+8.3%), and Mazagon Dock (+4.3%). Most sectors traded in positive territory, except for non-energy minerals, where JSW Steel (-1.8%), Hindalco (-1.5%), Jindal (-1.8%), and National Aluminum (-1.6%) led the declines.
