Twenty-six out of 30 stocks in the Sensex pack closed in the green.

M&M, JSW Steel, ICICI Bank, L&T, Bharti Airtel, Nestle, HUL, HDFC Bank, Tech Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, and Kotak Mahindra Bank were the top gainers. The top losers were SBI, IndusInd Bank, TCS, and Bajaj Finance.

Almost all sectoral indices closed in the green. Auto, IT, financial services, pharma, metal, realty, FMCG, and energy were major gainers.

Krishna Appala, Senior Research Analyst at Capitalmind Research, said, “Indian markets hit an all-time high as they cheered the Fed’s rate cut. The Nifty rose 1.2 percent this week, with Bank Nifty being the best performer, up 2.5 percent and also reaching an all-time high.”

“Initially, the reaction followed a typical ‘buy the rumour, sell the news’ pattern, but within a day, the market resumed its upward trend, hitting an all-time high. This is positive for the long term, particularly for sectors like Financials, Pharma, and IT, where we expect demand to pick up,” he said.

The Indian equity market opened on a positive note. At 9:46 a.m., the Sensex was up 82 points, or 0.10 percent, at 83,267, and the Nifty was up 40 points, or 0.16 percent, at 25,455.
