Friday Rally Lifts Dalal Street Amid IT and Banking Gains

Meanwhile, the Nifty 50 increased by 28.75 points, or 0.11%, to settle at 25,694.35. The rally was largely driven by the IT and banking stocks, which were a source of optimism for the investors, especially after the markets had taken two days of losses.

Will the boost from this Friday set the tone for next week, or is it just a calm before the storm?
