Stock Market Today:  Dalal Street kicked off Friday in green territory, with IT stocks behaving like they just discovered unlimited caffeine. Sensex climbed 234.19 points to 75,632.91, while Nifty rose 75.10 points to 23,764.70 in early trade. Tech giants led the charge as Nifty IT surged 2.6%, putting Infosys, TCS, Tech Mahindra, HCL Tech, and Wipro firmly in the spotlight. But beneath the cheerful headline numbers, market breadth flashed caution with more stocks falling than rising. Metal, oil & gas, and PSU bank stocks stayed under pressure, while midcaps and smallcaps also slipped into the red. Friday’s market mood? Tech party upfront, sectoral hangover in the background.

            Stock Market On Friday

            Yesterday, Dalal Street traded like it had an extra shot of espresso. Bulls charged through the session, lifting benchmark indices sharply higher and leaving bears searching for the exit button.

            • Sensex: jumped 789.74 points (1.06%) to close at 75,398.72
            • Nifty: climbed 277 points (1.18%) to settle at 23,689.60

            From the opening bell to the closing tick, markets stayed firmly in rally mode as investors piled into heavyweight stocks and risk appetite returned in full force. Positive sentiment, strong buying interest, and broad participation kept the momentum alive throughout the day. Safe to say, Thursday belonged entirely to the bulls—and they didn’t leave quietly.
