The domestic benchmark indices bounced back sharply on Monday, snapping a six-week losing streak as the Sensex and Nifty surged higher. Bargain hunters stepped in after the prolonged decline, though the advance was capped by persistent caution over the risk of US tariffs on Indian goods.
Small- and mid-cap counters joined the uptrend, adding muscle to the market’s recovery. The Nifty, which opened at 24,371.50 and briefly dipped to 24,347.45, went on to scale an intraday high of 24,600.85 before closing just shy of the peak.
Public sector banks and healthcare stocks led the charge, providing vital lift to the day’s gains. Attention now shifts to a slew of economic data due later this week, including wholesale and consumer inflation prints as well as trade balance numbers.
The S&P BSE Sensex surged 746.29 points or 0.93% to 80,604.08. The Nifty 50 index jumped 221.75 points or 0.91% to 24,585.05.
Adani Enterprises (up 4.83%), Reliance Industries (up 1.38%) and HDFC Bank (up 1.16%) boosted the Nifty higher today.
The broader market underperformed frontline indices. The S&P BSE Mid-Cap index added 0.79% and the S&P BSE Small-Cap index rose 0.35%.
The market breadth was positive. On the BSE, 2237 stocks fell, 1930 advanced, while 170 remained unchanged.
