Stock Market On Wednesday
Dalal Street edges higher in a selective grind while Wall Street keeps the global party slightly upbeat
Indian markets wrapped up the session in a “mildly green, don’t get too excited” mood, with Sensex up 49.74 points at 74,608.98 and Nifty adding 33.05 points to 23,412.60. The gains were picky-Asian Paints, Tata Steel, and Adani Ports did the lifting, while M&M, Infosys, and Tech Mahindra quietly pulled the brakes.
Globally, Wall Street kept the party music on: S&P 500 hit a fresh record, Nasdaq jumped over 1%, while Dow Jones took a small breather. Net-net, investors are in that classic phase-hopeful but cautious, buying dips but still checking exits. Volatility isn’t gone, just politely sitting in the corner.
