Stock market today: The Indian stock market closed significantly higher, driven by broad-based buying, with the benchmark Nifty 50 ending above the 24,000 mark, on Monday.
The Sensex surged 1,073.61 points, or 1.42%, to settle at 76,488.96, while the Nifty 50 advanced 312.40 points, or 1.32%, to close at 24,031.70.
However, the market is likely to snap its gaining streak as trends in the Gift Nifty index signalled a muted opening on Thursday. Gift Nifty was trading near the 24,057 mark, down over 6 points from the previous close of Nifty futures.
“Indian equity markets are expected to trade with a cautiously optimistic undertone, supported by easing geopolitical tensions and the sharp correction in crude oil prices. Investor sentiment has improved as global markets increasingly price in the possibility of progress in the ongoing U.S.–Iran peace negotiations, with hopes of a diplomatic resolution and gradual de-escalation in the Middle East helping strengthen broader risk appetite. Expectations of a positive outcome from the talks have emerged as a key driver behind the recent recovery in global equities and the sharp repricing in energy markets,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.
As the market is pointing towards a positive start, some stocks are likely to remain in focus on Tuesday due to their own positive/negative triggers.
