Stock Market Today: Sensex, Nifty 50 Rebound as Banking Giants Rally; Market Gains ₹2 Lakh Crore in a Day

Stock Market Today: The Indian stock market benchmarks, Sensex and Nifty 50, broke their two-session losing streak on Monday, July 21, closing with solid gains. The rally was primarily fueled by impressive performances from banking giants like HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank following their better-than-expected Q1 results.

The Sensex surged 443 points (0.54%) to close at 82,200.34, while the Nifty 50 climbed 122 points (0.49%) to end the session at 25,090.70.

The banking sector was the primary driver behind the market’s bounce-back, with strong earnings from HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank uplifting investor sentiment. Shares of Eternal also rose sharply ahead of its Q1 earnings. However, losses in Reliance Industries (down 3.24%) capped overall market gains. Mixed global cues continued to weigh on investor confidence, with concerns over Trump-era tariffs remaining in focus.
