Stock Market Wednesday
Wednesday Wrap | Nifty back above the 26,000
And that’s a wrap from yesterday’s market action, a session that happily wiped away Tuesday’s blues. The bulls showed up right on cue, lifting the Nifty back above the 26,000 mark and sending the Sensex soaring 513 points to close at 85,186. IT and financials led the charge, proving once again that when tech wakes up happy, the whole market gets a mood boost.
Broader markets, however, marched to their own rhythm, Midcaps inched up 0.3% while Smallcaps slipped 0.4%. Meanwhile, Nifty Bank continued its record-breaking streak, touching yet another fresh high at 59,264 before closing just a whisper lower. Sector-wise, IT dazzled with a 3% jump, PSU banks added some sparkle, while media and realty took a mild breather.
Top performers like HCL Tech, Max Healthcare, Infosys, and Wipro stole the spotlight, while TMPV, Coal India, and Maruti cooled off.
