After tanking over 2.7 percent yesterday, domestic equity benchmarks BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 bounced back on Friday, 25 February, snapping a seven-day long negative streak. Sensex surged over 1,300 points up to 55,858.52 while Nifty jumped over 2.5 percent to close at 16,658.40.

The gain comes on the back of strong global cues following US sanctions on Russia. Buying across major sectors and positive cues from global markets led investors to heave a sigh of relief after yesterday’s carnage on Dalal Street.

India VIX slid to 26.74 levels after a fall of 16.39 percent. All sectoral indices ended in green, with metal and realty gaining over 5 percent each. BSE Midcap and BSE Smallcap gained over 4 percent to 23,162.50 and 26,450.38, respectively.
