The Nifty 50 ended the session with a 1.89 percent increase, closing at 25,388.90 points. The S&P BSE Sensex also rose by 1.77 percent, finishing at 82,962 points. This uptick has pushed both indices into positive territory for the month. The Nifty 50 is up 0.7 percent in September, while the Sensex has gained 0.72 percent.
“It was a euphoric day for the Indian equities as Nifty made a fresh high above 25400 levels amid strong buying witnessed in the last hour of the session. The index closed with handsome gains of 470 points (+1.9%) at 25389 levels. Buying was seen across sectors with major buying seen in Auto and Metals. Nifty rallied in the final hour of the session supported by buying seen in Large-cap which outperformed the broader market by 0.7%. This positive up-move was supported by heightened expectations of a 25bps rate cut by the US Fed after the inflation data came in on expected lines. Overall we expect the market to continue its ongoing momentum on the back of healthy buying by FIIs and retail participation at every dip. Key event to watch out on domestic front – India’s inflation data,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.
