The Indian stock market recovered on Wednesday, breaking a two-day losing streak. The benchmark Sensex index gained 333 points to close at 74,336, and the Nifty 50 rose 99 points, ending the session near 23,218. This rebound followed a significant decline on the previous day that saw market capitalisation drop by more than Rs 9 lakh crore. Despite the overall market gains, broader market indices such as the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 remained in negative territory, with the latter falling 0.18%. Several key stocks contributed to the day's gains. ITC, State Bank of India (SBI), Axis Bank, and Trent shares each increased by approximately 2%. Conversely, the technology sector faced downward pressure, with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) shares falling around 3%, and Infosys and Tech Mahindra shares declining by more than 1%. Sectoral performance was mixed: the Nifty FMCG index rose over 1.6%, and the Nifty PSU Bank index gained more than 1.4%. In contrast, the Nifty IT index tumbled by approximately 1.6%. ## Market breadth The overall market breadth remained negative. On the National Stock Exchange (NSE), there were 1,855 advancing stocks compared to 1,688 declining stocks, with 119 stocks remaining unchanged. The Nifty Midcap index ended unchanged, while the Nifty Smallcap index ended marginally lower, according to reports. ## What the coverage left out None of the right-rated reports or digests mention the specific reason for the two-day losing streak that preceded Wednesday's gains, nor do they detail the Rs 9 lakh crore figure for market capitalisation loss reported by the centre-rated outlet. The right-rated reports also do not mention the specific number of advancing and declining stocks on the NSE, a detail included in the centre-rated report. ## Who covered it Shares of the 7 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 0% (0) - Centre: 14% (1) - Right: 86% (6) 10 of 17 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.
