Stock Market Updates: Sensex And Nifty End Higher As Market Eyes Fed Cuts, GST Boost- Here Is Everything You Need To Know

Markets Finish Solidly Green, Key Levels Hold, IT Leads the Way

The indices ended up on a positive note, with the Sensex and Nifty 50 gaining well, despite trading in ranges in the session. As a trader, it was the presence of resistance on the Nifty around the 25,000 level that stood out, and we are looking at this level as an area of dip-buying opportunities. Nonetheless, IT strength created a distinct positive momentum, and the biggest gainers in the group are TCS, Infosys, HCL, and Wipro.

Sensex and Nifty ended up 329 and 98 points respectively, at 81,636 and 24,968. Nifty Bank lost a little ground of 10 points, but the overall Midcap index strengthened by 72 points, an indication of strong underlying support in the wider markets. Stocks such as Hero MotoCorp and IndusInd Bank rose despite the fact they had now exited the Nifty 50, which was quite impressive.

Lets now dive into the crucial reasons why the market moved as it did.
