Stock market today: Why are BSE Sensex, Nifty50 rallying? Top 5 reasons

Stock market rally today: BSE Sensex and Nifty50 both surged over 1% on Tuesday, following the market's recent 7-week high. Softer oil prices, optimism around a potential review of the long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax for foreign investors, and positive corporate earnings contributed to the rally. Notable gainers included IndiGo, HDFC Bank, UltraTech Cement, Hindustan Unilever, Asian Paints, Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv, and Infosys.

Reliance Industries was an exception, declining slightly after a 12% gain the previous day. Analysts suggest that these factors, along with a potential change in the LTCG tax structure, have strengthened investor confidence and further fueled the rally.
