Markets at record high: The Indian stock market surged to fresh milestones on Thursday, November 27, as the Nifty 50 touched a new all-time high after a 14-month gap and the BSE Sensex climbed to its 52-week peak amid strong global cues. The Nifty 50 hit a record high of 26,295.55, surpassing its previous lifetime peak of 26,277.35 recorded in September 2024.
The Sensex also strengthened, rising over 200 points to scale a 52-week high of 85,940.24. The index is now less than 38 points away from its all-time high of 85,978.25, achieved on September 27, 2024.
Globally, markets continued to cheer expectations of monetary easing. Traders are pricing in a 25-basis-point rate cut each by the US Federal Reserve and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in December. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meets on December 9–10, while the RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) convenes on December 3–5. Any rate reduction by both central banks will boost liquidity, lower borrowing costs and further support bullish sentiment in equities.
“The rally has fundamental support from potential earnings growth expected in Q3 and Q4 of FY26. The consumption boom witnessed in October will translate into impressive earnings growth. If the trend sustains, even with slight moderation after the festival season, earnings growth, going forward, will be good warranting a rally in the market,” said Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited.
The Nifty 50 has delivered strong returns in the last one year, gaining more than 8%, or over 2,000 points. In the 2025 year-to-date (YTD) period, the index has rallied more than 11%, adding over 2,600 points, reflecting resilient domestic flows, robust corporate earnings, and improving global risk appetite.
