Market Closing Commentary
Benchmark indices closed near the day’s highs, supported by fresh buying in the second half of the session, particularly across the broader market. Despite volatility surrounding the Sensex expiry, investor sentiment improved after the Fed kept interest rates unchanged. Meanwhile, Brent crude oil prices remained steady near $110 per barrel, continuing to pose a macroeconomic overhang.
The Nifty 50 gained 1.05% to close at 22,936.75, while the Sensex rose 1.24% to 74,151.
On the sectoral front, Realty, FMCG, Financial Services, Banking and Energy were the key gainers, while auto emerged as the major laggard.
The broader market also witnessed healthy buying interest, with the Nifty Midcap 100 rising 0.99% and the Nifty Small cap 100 gaining 0.95%.
