In a promising start to the week, India’s stock benchmarks ended Monday’s trade on a buoyant note. The BSE Sensex gained 479.95 points, or 0.58%, closing at 83,294.66. Similarly, the NSE Nifty ascended 141.75 points (0.55%) to 25,713.
Market breadth was uneven: Nifty Midcap fell 0.43%, while Smallcap rose 0.29%.
Sectors painted a diverse picture. PSU Banks topped with 1.36% growth, aided by MidSmall Healthcare’s 1.03% advance. Nifty IT emerged as the weakest link, followed by Chemicals.
Sensex heavyweights like Adani Ports, Kotak Bank, UltraTech Cement, Power Grid, Axis Bank, and HDFC Bank drove the index higher as top gainers. Conversely, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Trent, HCL Tech, Bajaj Finserv, and ITC were the notable decliners.
The indices extended gains from the prior session, supported by banking and healthcare resilience. A key booster came from international shores, where the US Supreme Court invalidated Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariff strategy, sparking optimism across global bourses.
Looking forward, analysts highlight potential volatility from geopolitical factors, but current trends point to sustained recovery. Broader participation could pave the way for new highs.
