Summary of the Day's Market Performance

• The Indian stock markets ended on a high note, with the Nifty touching an all-time high of 25,800 and the Sensex gaining an impressive 1,400 points.

• Both BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices surged 1% each, indicating broad-based market participation.

• The rally was fueled by positive global cues and investor sentiment, as Indian equities continue to outperform on the back of strong fundamentals.

Performance of Key Sectors

• Auto, Bank, Capital Goods, FMCG, Power, Telecom, Metal, and Realty surged between 1-2%, leading the market rally.

• Private banking stocks remained the top performers, attracting investor attention as rate-cut expectations in the U.S. added to the bullish sentiment.

Market Transactions:

• Foreign Institutional Investors (FII/FPI): ₹14,064.05 crore (Net Buyers)

• Domestic Institutional Investors (DII): ₹-4,427.08 crore (Net Sellers)

FIIs continued their buying spree, adding to the bullish momentum, while DIIs booked profits during the day.

• The rally is driven by a combination of global and domestic factors. U.S. rate-cut expectations, a decline in the dollar index, and lower bond yields have made emerging markets, including India, more attractive.
