On Tuesday, benchmark indices made a strong comeback after facing a bloodbath in the previous session. Both the Nifty 50 and Sensex were trading 1% higher at the time of writing.
What Happened: The rebound today is driven by a broad-based recovery in Asian markets. On Tuesday, Japan's Nikkei 225 index surged by 10.97% to reach an intraday high of 34,911.80, recovering from a 12.4% decline the previous day.
Other Asian markets also saw positive movement, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng index rising by 0.32% and the Taiwan Capitalization Weighted Stock Index climbing by 2.31%.

Almost all broad market indices, including Nifty midcaps and small caps, rebounded by over 1%. The India VIX, a gauge of market volatility, fell by 14.10%, reversing a 60% increase from the previous day.
