Mumbai, June 27 (NationPress) The Indian stock markets concluded the week on a robust note on Friday, with benchmark indices achieving a nine-month high. Investor sentiment was buoyed as tensions in West Asia subsided, coinciding with reports suggesting a potential ‘great’ India-US trade deal, thereby enhancing market confidence and stimulating buying activity.
The Sensex rose by 303.03 points, or 0.36 percent, concluding at 84,058.90. During the trading session, it fluctuated within a range of 83,645.41 to 84,089.35.
This marks the fourth consecutive day of gains for the benchmark index, indicating a consistent upward trend. Similarly, the Nifty index experienced an increase, climbing 88.80 points, or 0.35 percent, to finish at 25,637.80. It traded between 25,523 and 25,654 during the day.
According to Rupak De from LKP Securities, "The Nifty has continued to ascend as investor confidence remains robust. With no significant resistance anticipated before 25,750–25,800, the index may persist on its upward path."
A buy-on-dips approach seems to be the most suitable strategy at present, following the substantial rise in recent days. On the downside, support is positioned at 25,500; a drop below this threshold could trigger consolidation, he noted.
Previously, the Sensex had achieved the 84,000-mark in October 2024, while the Nifty reached 25,639 on October 3 of the previous year.
The broader markets mirrored this trend. The Nifty Midcap100 index increased by 0.27 percent, while the Nifty Smallcap100 surged 0.91 percent, indicating that investor enthusiasm extended beyond large-cap equities.
All sectoral indices on the NSE, except for the Nifty Consumer Durables, Realty, IT, and FMCG indices, closed in positive territory.
The Nifty Oil & Gas index outperformed both its sector counterparts and the benchmark indices, concluding 1.19 percent higher.
Market volatility also decreased, with the India VIX, known as the fear gauge, dropping 1.60 percent to settle at 12.39.
This indicates that investors are exhibiting greater confidence regarding market stability in the near term.
