4 reasons why Indian markets rebounded sharply

After a rough week, the Indian markets witnessed a stellar rebound today. Sensex was up around 900 points, while the Nifty50 closed near the 17,600-mark. Let’s take a look at the reasons behind this rally. 

Adani Group stocks rise 

Shares of Adani Group companies soared with its flagship company Adani Enterprises closing 16% higher. Out of the 10 stocks of the Adani Group companies, seven were locked in the upper circuit. This comes after US-based investment firm GQG Partners invested ₹15,446 crore in four Adani companies.

Banking on bank stocks

The fresh investment in Adani Group companies had a rub-off effect on bank stocks. Experts believe that the money raised by Adani Group companies will be used for reducing debt, which is a big positive for banks. ICYDK, Indian banks have collectively lent ₹81,200 crore to  Adani Group’s top five companies. This exposure to Adani Group companies was a key concern for Indian banks over the last few days. 

Key data releases

Data releases this week – from manufacturing to industrial – showed that India’s economic activities remain robust. India’s PMI Services, which is the barometer of sentiments in the sector, hit a 12-year high in February. This was supported by demand resilience and competitive pricing. 

China reviving       

After lifting the pandemic-triggered restrictions, China’s economy continues to revive. China’s factory activity stood at 52.6 in February – the highest since April 2012. This bodes well for metal companies as China is one of the biggest consumers of metals in the world.      

So, with multiple factors favouring the Indian markets, bulls thrashed bears comprehensively today.
