In a robust display of market strength, Indian stock indices surged significantly today. The benchmark Sensex soared by 536.43 points, reaching 82,095.97, while the Nifty50 index gained 162.25 points. The rally was primarily driven by gains in information technology (IT) stocks and positive cues from global markets.
IT stocks led the charge, with Coforge emerging as the top performer in the Nifty IT sector. Other notable gainers included LTIMindtree, Mphasis, LTTS, and Persistent Systems. This broad-based strength in IT shares contributed to the overall upward momentum in the market.
Despite the overall positive sentiment, some stocks experienced selling pressure. HDFC Life was among the top losers of the day.
The market breadth was largely favorable, with several stocks reaching their 52-week highs, reflecting investor optimism. Market analyst Shrey Jain commented on the current climate, noting a generally positive outlook. He advised that while trading opportunities abound, investors should also consider booking profits at elevated levels to manage risk effectively.
