Sensex Closes on Higher Note

India's BSE Sensex gained further ground to close about 1.5% firmer at 73,034 on Tuesday, recovering from the previous session's losses. Strong gains in IT stocks and falling oil prices supported the rally, while sentiment also benefited from the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) recent measures to ease pressure on the rupee. The IT sector was the standout performer, recording its strongest performance since May 2025, led by an 8.3% surge in software exporter HCLTech after it reported better-than-expected earnings. IT company TCS, which reported its quarterly earnings last week, also jumped 6.6%.
