Benchmarks snap 4-day losing streak; Nifty settles above 23,400
Domestic equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty snapped a four-session losing streak to close higher on Wednesday, aided by value buying in beaten-down stocks. Market recovered from early volatility and profit booking to rebound sharply from intraday lows, with the Nifty settling above the 23,400 mark. Gains were led by metal, consumer durable and energy shares, while IT and auto stocks remained under pressure. However, overall sentiment stayed cautious amid elevated crude oil prices, persistent foreign institutional investor outflows, rupee weakness and lingering global inflation concerns. The Indian rupee also touched a fresh intraday record low of 95.80 against the US dollar.
