India’s benchmark stock indexes surged this week, mirroring global market optimism and signaling renewed investor confidence in the country’s economic outlook. The BSE Sensex closed at 81,101.32, up 314 points, while the Nifty 50 ended at 24,868.60, gaining 95 points—both marking fresh highs for the month.
📊 What’s Driving the Rally?
The upward momentum is largely attributed to:
Positive global cues, including record highs in U.S. markets
Strong performance in IT and banking sectors, with Infosys and HDFC Bank leading gains
Foreign institutional inflows, as investors seek exposure to emerging markets amid rate-cut speculation
The Gift Nifty, India’s international index traded in Gujarat’s financial hub, also showed bullish signals, suggesting continued strength in the coming sessions.
🔍 Technical Outlook
Market analysts are closely watching the 24,900–25,000 resistance zone on the Nifty 50. A breakout above this level could trigger a fresh wave of buying, especially in mid-cap and infrastructure stocks.
“The charts are showing strong support around 24,600, and momentum indicators are still in bullish territory,” said a senior technical strategist at Kotak Securities.
