Why is stock market rising today? Sensex surges 829 points, Nifty rises 1% - Key factors driving Dalal Street explained
BSE moved higher in a quarterly results development.
· LiveMint Markets
The Sensex and Nifty 50 climbed about 1% in early Wednesday trading amid optimism over a possible India-US trade deal. IT stocks led sectoral gains. Investors also watched rising oil prices, US bond yields, the Jio Platforms IPO and earnings.
The analysis
BSE reported movement of 1%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is -0.2% on the day at ₹1,164.90, and has returned -9.9% over three months. It sits 27% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The oil & energy sector has moved -5.7% over the same period, so Reliance Industries is running 4.2 points behind its peers.
For Reliance Industries, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the oil & energy peer set alongside it.
Why it matters
- Earnings versus expectations is what actually re-rates a stock; the surprise matters more than the absolute number.
- Listing activity is a read on risk appetite — a hot primary market usually means a confident secondary one.
- With BSE involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
Market context

- Over three months: Reliance Industries (Jio) -9.9% against Oil & Energy -5.7% (4.2 points behind).
