<h1>Sensex, Nifty Rebound as IT and Banking Lead Gains on Softer Inflation, Fed Dovishness, Lower Crude</h1> Indian benchmark indices rebounded in early Monday trade, with the Sensex and Nifty recovering part of Friday's losses, primarily driven by gains in major IT and banking stocks amid supportive global cues. Certain auto and electronics counters underperformed. Positive sentiment was supported by stronger US markets, expectations around a potential US-India trade deal, easing domestic inflation, dovish commentary from a US Federal Reserve official, and lower Brent crude prices. Despite recent foreign institutional investor net selling, domestic institutional investors were net buyers, providing market support. Asian markets were mixed, with some key indices in positive territory while others traded lower.
