  "account": "On October 13, 2026, Indian stock markets experienced a strong recovery, with the Sensex surging 1,109.10 points, or 1.54%, to close at 73,033.78, while the Nifty 50 rose 358.60 points, or 1.60%, to settle at 22,721.95. The IT sector led the rally, with the Nifty IT index gaining more than 5% due to optimism over HCL Technologies' earnings. Sectoral performance included Nifty Realty rising 2.48%, FMCG advancing 1.40%, PSU Bank growing 1.46%, Auto increasing 1.23%, Metal surging 1.17%, and Media gaining 0.55%. Nifty Pharma was the only sector to decline, with a minor 0.05% drop. Market volatility eased, as the India VIX fell around 8%, signaling reduced near-term uncertainty. The rupee continued its recovery, trading in the mid-95s against the US dollar, driven by RBI measures and slightly weaker crude oil prices at $104.55 per barrel. Gold and silver also showed recovery, with gold at ₹1,49,535 per 10 grams and silver at ₹2,22,849 per kg. Asian markets were mixed, with South Korea's KOSPI falling 5.78%, Japan's Nikkei 225 declining 1.93%, and Taiwan's weighted index dropping 1.99%.",
  "summary": "Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices Highlights: Indian equities rebounded sharply on Tuesday as IT stocks rallied on earnings optimism, lifting benchmark indices by more than 1.5 per cent. The decline in volatility supported sentiment, although elevated crude oil prices, inflation and uneven risk appetite remained concerns.",
