Sensex Today, Nifty50 Today, Share Market News: Domestic equity benchmarks jumped more than one per cent in morning deals on Wednesday amid buying across most sectors, with financial, auto, metal, and oil & gas shares at the forefront of the rally. The Sensex surged as much as 835.2 points, or 1.0 per cent, to touch 82,021.6 on the upside, while the Nifty50 climbed to as high as 24,946.2 — up 262.3 points, or 1.1 per cent, from its previous close. This helped investors recover about two-thirds of the losses sustained over the past three sessions amidst a sudden reversal in nascent foreign institutional inflows on Dalal Street.
At 11 am, both main indices held firmly in the green, with the Sensex trading 657.4 points higher at 81,843.9, and the Nifty50 up 204.6 points at 24,888.5.

FII & DII Fund Flow Trend
Tuesday’s selling marked FPIs’ biggest single-day outflow in more than 11 weeks.
Yet, as of May 20, FPIs have net purchased Indian shares worth Rs 13,241 crore for the month, along with DII inflows of Rs 29,799 crore. FIIs are on track to finish a third straight month as net buyers on Dalal Street, having purchased equities worth Rs 2,735 crore and Rs 2,014 crore in April and March, respectively, exchange data shows.
May could mark the 22nd straight month of DII inflows into the market.
US-China Trade Comfort
Chinese markets have fully recovered from the lows reached after US President Donald Trump’s move early last month to impose a 34 per cent duty on imports from China, prompting the world’s second-largest economy to respond with triple-digit levies on the US. Currently, the US levy on Chinese goods stands suspended, and the Chinese duty on American goods has been cancelled.
Meanwhile, the US President said last week that India had offered a trade deal with “no tariffs” for American goods.
Some analysts say that while global investors may be drawing comfort from progress on the US-China trade front, the trade situation appears neutral for Dalal Street bulls — at least for now.
