Indian equity benchmarks snapped a four-day losing streak on Thursday, closing in positive territory as investors returned to selective buying. The market recovery provided much-needed relief after a period of sustained downward pressure.
Key Indices Register Gains
The benchmark 30-share BSE Sensex edged higher by 158.51 points or 0.19 per cent, finally settling at 85,265.32. Throughout the trading session on December 4, 2025, the index demonstrated stronger momentum, at one point surging by as much as 380.4 points or 0.44 per cent to touch an intraday peak of 85,487.21.
A Welcome Reversal
The upward move marked a significant shift in sentiment. After enduring consistent declines over the previous four trading sessions, the bounce-back suggests that investors found value at lower levels. The trading pattern, which saw the index give up some of its intraday gains by the closing bell, is typical of a market attempting to find a firm base after a correction.
Market Outlook and Analysis
While the gains were modest, breaking the negative streak is psychologically important for market participants. Analysts will be watching closely to see if this rebound can gather momentum in the coming sessions or if it remains a temporary technical recovery. The day's high near the 85,500 level may now act as a immediate resistance point for the Sensex.
The recovery, though partial, indicates that underlying domestic fundamentals and corporate earnings prospects continue to attract long-term investment. Traders are likely to monitor global cues and domestic macroeconomic data for further direction.
