Top gainers & losers: Stocks that moved the most on August 11, 2025
Bulls staged a strong comeback on August 11, with benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty climbing nearly a percent each, driven by robust buying in PSU banking, realty, and auto stocks. The rebound came as investors shook off last week’s tariff-induced volatility, which had pushed the Nifty to a three-month low and resulted in the index’s longest weekly losing streak in five years.
