Indian markets rebounded strongly in the previous session, ending a five-week losing streak amid positive global cues and RBI's measures to support the rupee. The IT sector led the gains, benefiting from a weaker rupee which boosts export competitiveness. Additionally, a drop in crude oil prices eased inflation concerns, providing further relief to the markets. Despite these gains, investor sentiment remains cautious due to ongoing geopolitical tensions and global economic uncertainties.
