New Delhi, Sept. 17 -- Indian equity markets staged a strong comeback on Tuesday, with both benchmark indices closing notably higher, supported by positive global cues and optimism around India-US trade talks.

The Nifty 50 opened flat at 25,073.6 and closed up 169.9 points (+0.68%) at 25,239.1, reclaiming the 25,200 mark for the first time since 23 August. The BSE Sensex followed suit, rising 594.95 points (+0.73%) to settle at 82,380.69. The rally was broad-based, as reflected in a healthy advance-decline ratio, with sectoral gains led by autos, energy, realty, and telecom, while FMCG lagged behind. Technically, the Nifty stayed above all key moving averages, indicating sustained momentum.

Target price: Rs.2,895 in 12 months
