Market Performance

The Indian market continued its positive stride with Nifty crossing the 26,000 milestone, signaling resilience in domestic equities. At close, the Sensex was up 368.97 points or 0.44 percent at 84,997.13, and the Nifty was up 117.70 points or 0.45 percent at 26,053.90. On the sectoral front, metal, private banking, energy, and pharma sectors saw major gains, while only auto stocks faced pressure.

Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said, "The domestic market ended on a strong note, supported by positive cues from Asian markets and improved clarity on global trade dynamics. Optimism over potential progress in India–US trade talks further lifted sentiment. Oil stocks led the rally as crude prices eased expectations of higher OPEC+ output, while metal stocks advanced amid firm commodity prices and supply constraints. The upcoming Fed decision remains a key event for global markets; although a 25-bps rate cut is widely anticipated, investors will closely track its commentary for further rate cuts, which will guide the future market trajectory."
