Sensex Today Stock Market Live Updates:  Most sectoral indices were trading in positive territory, signalling widespread buying interest despite weakness in the broader benchmark. Realty stocks emerged as the top performers, followed by gains in healthcare, midcap healthcare, consumer durables, pharmaceuticals, and media sectors. Banking, FMCG, and financial services stocks also maintained a positive trend. However, the IT sector remained the only major underperformer, continuing to face selling pressure, while metal stocks showed a largely muted movement.

The BSE Sensex was trading higher at 76,991.22, rising around 487 points or 0.64% compared with the previous close. The index recovered after witnessing a sharp decline in the previous session, moving in line with the Nifty 50’s rebound.
