Indian stock markets kicked off Tuesday's trading session on a high note, mirroring the optimism seen in global markets. In the early hours of trading, the benchmark equity indices - Sensex and Nifty - witnessed a significant uptick.
The S&P BSE Sensex, comprising the top 30 blue-chip stocks listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, vaulted by approximately 200 points to reach 81,745.02. The jump was largely fueled by robust buying interest in index heavyweights. The rise in the Sensex, which serves as a barometer for the Indian equity market, underscored the buoyant sentiment prevalent among market participants.
Similarly, the broader National Stock Exchange (NSE) Nifty50 index traded in the green, advancing by 40.95 points to 24,977. The trajectory of the NSE Nifty, which encompasses a diverse portfolio of 50 blue-chip stocks across key sectors, provides a comprehensive snapshot of market health.
The strong start to the trading day was influenced by positive cues from global markets. Overnight, international bourses registered gains, contributing to an uptick in investor confidence. Asia-Pacific markets also exhibited strength, mirroring the momentum generated by upbeat investor sentiment. As the Indian market reacts positively to the supportive global cues, investors' risk appetite has been whetted.
Market analysts attribute the upward momentum to various factors, including indications of a cooling down in geopolitical tensions and fading concerns over a potential economic downturn. Strong corporate earnings growth and an uptick in economic fundamentals also contributed to the risk-on mode prevailing among market participants.
Furthermore, the sustained participation of foreign institutional investors bolstered the domestic market sentiment. Besides, an overall improvement in liquidity conditions and heightened activity on the part of domestic investors lent further support to equity markets.
As the market participants react positively to the favorable developments, it remains to be seen if the bull run can be sustained throughout the trading day. Investors would likely be keeping an eye on the global cues and key economic indicators for any change in market direction.
