Sensex Today: <\/strong>Indian benchmark indices closed in the green on Wednesday, led by gains in healthcare, metal, and auto stocks. Market sentiment improved after retail inflation data showed a sharp decline, easing to its lowest level in over seven years.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation fell to 1.55% in July, down from 2.1% in June, marking the ninth straight month of decline. According to the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), this is the lowest reading since June 2017.<\/p>\n

The BSE Sensex rose 304.32 points, or 0.38%, to settle at 80,539.91, while the Nifty50 gained 131.95 points, or 0.54%, to end at 24,619.35.<\/p>\n

On the BSE, Bharat Electronics (BEL), Eternal, and Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) were the top gainers, whereas Adani Ports, UltraTech Cement, and ITC were the major laggards.<\/p>\n

On the NSE, NTPC, Titan, and Dr. Reddy\u2019s Laboratories led the gains, while IndusInd Bank, Bharti Airtel, and Adani Enterprises were among the top losers.<\/p>\n

Broader indices also closed higher, with the Nifty Midcap 100 up 0.63% and the Nifty Smallcap index gaining 0.66%.<\/p>\n

Sectorally, Nifty Healthcare surged 2.13%, followed by Pharma (1.73%), Metal (1.26%), and Auto (1.12%). On the downside, FMCG (-0.04%), PSU Bank (-0.14%), and Oil & Gas (-0.05%) ended slightly lower.<\/p>\n

Global Cues<\/strong><\/p>\n

Global markets also lent support. Across Asia, mainland China\u2019s CSI 300 gained 0.37%, Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng advanced 0.94%, Japan\u2019s Nikkei rose 1.3%, and South Korea\u2019s KOSPI added 0.38%.<\/p>\n

Overnight in the US, Wall Street ended higher after July\u2019s consumer price index (CPI) came in softer than expected, easing concerns that tariffs were stoking inflation. The CPI rose 0.2% in July, following a 0.3% increase in June, matching economists\u2019 estimates. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both closed at fresh record highs, gaining 1.1% and 1.4% respectively, while the Dow Jones also advanced 1.1%.<\/p>\n
