Indian stock markets staged a strong comeback, with Sensex and Nifty recovering significantly from morning lows.

INR continues to stay pressured near record lows
The Indian rupee continues to stay pressured near record low levels in opening trades on Thursday, as strong dollar demand, surging crude oil prices, geopolitical tensions, and relentless foreign capital outflows dented investor sentiments.

The Indian rupee depreciated 35 paise to close at 95.72 (provisional) against the US dollar on Wednesday, after the US Trade Representative proposed a 12.5 per cent additional duties on Indian imports, citing labour violations. Besides, a strong dollar demand, surging crude oil prices, geopolitical tensions, and relentless foreign capital outflows dented investor sentiment further.

Benchmarks pare steep losses; Sensex slides 304 points, Nifty ends below 23,450
The domestic equity benchmarks staged a sharp recovery from intraday lows on Wednesday as bargain hunting emerged after the morning selloff. The Nifty, which slipped to an intraday low of 23,151.50, rebounded nearly 250 points and climbed back above the 23,400 mark in late trade. Sentiment improved as investors accumulated beaten-down stocks. However, caution persisted amid uncertainty surrounding U.S.-Iran ceasefire negotiations, which kept global energy markets volatile and crude oil prices elevated. Despite the recovery, the index settled below the 23,450 level, weighed down by weakness in IT and FMCG stocks. Analysts said the Nifty remains technically weak, with immediate support seen at 23,300 and resistance at 23,600.
