Early Tuesday trade showed a steady tone across Indian equities as the BSE Sensex added 62 points to 84,840 and the NSE Nifty climbed 18 points to 25,985. Gains tracked resilient Q2 results, supportive global cues, and stable crude. Banks and capital goods outperformed, while selective profit-taking capped broader advances. Dealers flagged healthy futures positioning and continued domestic inflows as key underpinnings. Strategists said focus remains on margin commentary from heavyweights and any signs of inventory normalization across autos and consumer staples, which could extend near-term breadth.
