Mumbai, June 26 (NationPress) The Indian stock exchanges concluded on a robust note this Thursday, as the benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty surged by more than 1 percent each, primarily driven by growth in banking and major stocks.
This robust performance of the benchmark index mirrored strong investor sentiment, bolstered by the evident stability of the Middle East ceasefire, alleviating fears of potential supply chain interruptions.
The Sensex rose by 1,000.36 points, or 1.21 percent, to close at 83,755.87. During trading, it reached an intra-day high of 83,812.09 and a low of 82,816.26.
Similarly, the Nifty increased by 304.25 points, or 1.21 percent, finishing at 25,549.00. It recorded an intra-day high of 25,565.30 and a low of 25,259.90.
“The Nifty has made a significant move beyond the recent consolidation on the daily chart, indicating increasing optimism among traders and investors,” stated Rupak De of LKP Securities.
“With the index now surpassing the consolidation zone, we maintain our bullish outlook moving forward,” he added.
Among the stocks in the Nifty, top gainers included Shriram Finance, Tata Steel, Bharti Airtel, and Hindalco Industries, which saw increases ranging from 2.48 to 3.69 percent.
Conversely, Dr Reddy's Laboratories, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, SBI, and Hero MotoCorp were the primary laggards, declining between 0.45 and 1.31 percent.
In the broader market, the Nifty Midcap100 and Nifty Smallcap100 indices finished lower, dropping by 0.59 percent and 0.42 percent respectively, indicating some pressure on mid- and small-cap stocks.
The banking sector also experienced significant buying activity. The Bank Nifty index reached an intra-day high of 57,263.45 and ended at 57,206.70, up by 1.03 percent.
Among sectoral indices, all major indices, except for Realty, IT, and Media, concluded in the green.
The Nifty Metal index emerged as the top performer, gaining 2.31 percent, followed by the Nifty Private Bank, Financial Services, and Oil & Gas indices, each rising by over 1 percent.
Meanwhile, the Rupee appreciated by over 33 paise, closing at 85.75, supported by a significant decline in the dollar index below the 97.00 mark.
“The drop in crude prices and a weaker dollar provided robust support to the rupee. With the improvement in global risk sentiment and the potential for ongoing fund inflows, the rupee might approach 85.25 in the upcoming days,” mentioned Jateen Trivedi of LKP Securities.
“Gold prices remained stable as the weakness in the dollar index offered support, while the Federal Reserve's decision against immediate rate cuts impacted sentiment,” Trivedi added.
He further mentioned that MCX Gold is projected to trade within the range of Rs 95,500 to Rs 98,500 in the near term.
Point of View
I appreciate the dynamic nature of the stock market, especially how external factors like geopolitical stability can significantly influence investor sentiment. The recent surge in Sensex and Nifty reflects a resilient market, and we encourage investors to stay informed and strategic in their decisions, always prioritizing long-term growth and stability.
