Indian equity markets started the week on a strong note, extending gains from the previous session as positive global cues and a landmark India–European Union trade agreement boosted investor confidence. The upbeat sentiment pushed benchmark indices deeper into record territory, reinforcing the bullish trend in the broader market.
On Tuesday, the benchmark indices closed firmly higher in the holiday-shortened week:
Sensex gained 320 points (0.39%) to close at 81,857
Nifty 50 rose 126 points (0.51%), settling at 25,175
In early trade today, Nifty moved above 25,250, while Sensex gained over 300 points
Heavyweight banking and financial stocks led the rally, with Axis Bank and the Bajaj twins (Bajaj Finance & Bajaj Finserv) jumping up to 4%, providing strong support to the indices.
Despite the headline indices ending higher, market breadth on the BSE was slightly negative:
1,985 stocks advanced
2,306 stocks declined
182 stocks remained unchanged
This indicates selective buying, with investors focusing on quality large-cap and fundamentally strong stocks.
The signing of the long-awaited India–European Union trade agreement has significantly improved risk appetite among investors. The deal is expected to:
Strengthen exports and manufacturing
Improve foreign investment inflows
Support long-term economic growth
Benefit sectors such as banking, infrastructure, capital goods, and IT
This positive macro development has acted as a key catalyst for the ongoing market rally.
Asian and global markets showed mixed trends, offering limited resistance to domestic momentum:
S&P 500 futures up 0.2%
Nikkei 225 futures down 0.4%
Japan’s Topix slipped 0.8%
Hang Seng gained 0.7%
Shanghai Composite rose 0.2%
Euro Stoxx 50 futures declined 0.2%
Despite mixed global signals, Indian markets outperformed, highlighting strong domestic fundamentals.
At Stock Emphasis, we believe the broader market structure remains positive, supported by strong economic indicators, stable inflation, and favorable global developments. However, with indices at record highs, stock-specific strategies and disciplined risk management are crucial.
Investors should focus on:
Fundamentally strong stocks
Banking and financial leaders
Sectors benefiting from global trade growth
Proper entry levels and stop-loss discipline
The sharp upside in Sensex and Nifty reflects renewed confidence in India’s growth story. While volatility may persist in the short term, the medium- to long-term outlook remains constructive. Strategic investing with expert guidance can help traders and investors navigate markets more effectively.
