Stock market today: Indian equity benchmarks extended their gains on Thursday, 25 June supported by softer crude oil prices and positive global market cues that boosted investor sentiment.
At around 12:50 PM IST, the NSE Nifty 50 was trading 0.70% higher at 24,191.35, while the BSE Sensex advanced 0.68% to 77,513.99.
Market sentiment remained broadly positive, with buying interest visible across most sectors. Realty, auto, financial services, and cement stocks led the gains, reflecting continued investor preference for economically sensitive sectors. Banking shares also contributed significantly to the rally amid an improving market outlook.
However, metal and media stocks underperformed the broader market, witnessing selective profit-booking. Despite the weakness in a few pockets, overall market breadth remained positive, indicating broad-based participation in the ongoing uptrend.
