Stock Market On Monday
Dalal Street Ends the Day on a High Note
The Indian market opened the holiday-shortened week with a confident step, which made investors happy. The Nifty easily moved above the 26,150 level, pushed by broad-based buying, positive global cues, and steady support from foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and domestic institutional investors (DIIs). At the end of the day, the Sensex went up by 638 points to finish at 85,567, while the Nifty gained 206 points to close at 26,172.
The rally wasn’t confined to the frontline indices. Broader markets took centre stage, with midcaps and smallcaps gaining more than 1 percent. Shriram Finance, Trent, Wipro, Infosys, and Bharti Airtel were the Nifty gainers, while only a few defensives limited the upside. It was a sector-wide victory, capital goods, metals, and IT were the brightest. A strong close, leaving traders wondering: could this momentum last until the next session?
