Hello, Namaste!
Welcome to our live coverage of Indian Stock Markets this Wednesday.
Three days in a row now, the benchmark indices have closed in greens and the gains have been significant enough to bring the bulls to the party.
Yesterday, Indian stock market continued its bullish streak as major indices closed with significant gains under supportive investor sentiment. Led by firm sectoral performances, positive macroeconomic news, and expectations of strategic policy reforms, the market showed strength and breadth, reflecting strong underlying demand. The BSE Sensex finished up by 371 points, or 0.46%, and closed at the 81,684 level. The NSE Nifty 50, meanwhile, rose 110 points, or 0.45%, and closed close to the 24,988 psychological level. The Nifty even touched the 25,000 level intraday, indicating strong momentum among large-caps. Reliance gained significantly, auto stocks were also on the uptrend. The losing stocks were notably from Pharma sector.
