TLDR
Market Recap: April 07, 2026
On April 07, Indian equities extended their rebound for a fourth straight session, with the Sensex closing at 74,616.58, up 509.73 points or 0.69%, and the Nifty 50 at 23,123.65, up 155.40 points or 0.68%, as IT stocks rallied ahead of TCS results and metals gained on broker upgrades. The move was still selective, with the Midcap 100 up just 0.2%, the Small-cap 100 down 0.1%, and India VIX easing 3.03% to 24.70 as investors stayed cautious before the RBI decision and Trump’s Iran deadline.
Key Drivers :
IT pre-earnings buying led: Nifty IT jumped 2.5% before TCS results.
Metals found support: Hindalco and Vedanta rose after JP Morgan upgrades.
Broader caution persisted: Small-caps lagged despite headline index gains and lower VIX.
