- ARSHAD KHAN @ New Delhi

DOMESTIC equity markets witnessed a huge rebound this week, with the benchmark BSE Sensex surging 4,650 points and the NSE Nifty climbing 1,430 points over just four trading sessions. Both indices registered gains of over 6%, marking one of the strongest recoveries in recent months.

Investors added ₹18 lakh crore to their kitty this week as m-cap rose from ₹401.67 crore to ₹419.60 crore. The rally was pronounced in a holiday-shortened week, with the market posting its biggest weekly gain in over two years. The Sensex, Nifty, and Midcap indices each rose over 4%, driven by a combination of global and domestic factors.
