Mumbai, January 09, 2026 – Indian benchmarks staged a partial rebound on Friday, with Nifty climbing 0.6% to 25,450 and Sensex up 0.7% to 83,200, snapping a four-day skid as bargain hunters scooped up beaten-down e-comm and metal plays amid softer global yields and positive Q3 previews from IT. At least 37 scrips hit upper price bands (mostly 5-20%), suspending buys as volumes swelled on FII inflows (₹1,500 Cr net buy). This flips the week's script, adding ₹400 Cr in value to leaders like Meesho (up 4.1% to ₹172 on festive restock buzz), Silvertuc (rising 4.7% to ₹1,685 amid silver price spikes), and Krystal (soaring 20% to ₹624 on logistics orders).
The uptick signals selective optimism ahead of earnings season, with SMEs leading the charge on liquidity easing. Volumes rose 12%, advancers edging decliners 1.2:1. Analysts see momentum building if PMI surprises positively tomorrow.
