15 july 2026 Punjab Khabarnama Bureau : Indian benchmark indices rebounded sharply in early trade, with the BSE Sensex gaining around 550 points and the NSE Nifty 50 climbing above the 24,200 mark. The rally was driven by encouraging U.S. inflation data, positive global market cues, and renewed buying by investors.
The softer-than-expected U.S. inflation figures boosted expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve may adopt a more accommodative monetary policy, improving global risk appetite and supporting equities.
