Indian equity benchmarks bounced back strongly on Friday, halting a two-session losing streak. Supportive cues from heavyweight counters and global tech optimism helped the Nifty 50 index close 55.70 points higher, settling at 25,461, while the Sensex gained 193.42 points, ending the day at 83,432.89.

Markets recovered more than 100 points from intraday lows, buoyed by resilience in ICICI Bank, Infosys, and Reliance Industries, signaling improving investor confidence.

🌍 Global Cues & SEBI Clampdown on Derivative Trades

Investor risk appetite was further supported by a record close in the Nasdaq and better-than-expected U.S. jobs data, which reinforced the earnings outlook for Indian IT exporters.

Meanwhile, in a major regulatory move, SEBI issued an interim order against global trading house Jane Street, alleging index manipulation through derivative instruments. The order highlighted profits of over ₹36,500 crore accrued through strategies that potentially distorted market fairness between January 2023 and March 2025.

The action has raised focus on the oversight of algorithmic and high-frequency trading in Indian derivatives, especially on weekly expiry Thursdays, often linked with sharp volatility swings.
