Sensex and Nifty Extend Winning Streak: Top Gainers and Losers Today
Indian benchmark indices continued their positive momentum on Thursday, marking the fifth consecutive session of gains. Supported by falling crude oil prices and geopolitical optimism, the markets showed resilience despite cautious signals from the US Federal Reserve.
Market Performance: Sensex and Nifty50 Close Higher
The domestic equity markets witnessed a steady climb as the BSE Sensex rose by 254.36 points (0.33%) to settle at 77,409.98. Similarly, the NSE Nifty50 gained 82.30 points (0.34%), closing at the 24,168 mark. While the Nifty remained largely range-bound during the early part of the session, late-stage buying interest helped it extend its recent winning streak.
The broader market also mirrored this bullishness, with the BSE SmallCap Select index rising 0.43% and the MidCap Select index gaining 0.33%. On the BSE, market breadth remained positive as 2,419 stocks advanced compared to 1,814 declines.
Key Drivers: Crude Oil and Geopolitical Shifts
Two primary macroeconomic factors underpinned the market's upward trajectory:
- Easing Geopolitical Tensions: Optimism surged following a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by US President Donald Trump with Iran, aimed at ending the three-month-long conflict. This move has significantly boosted investor confidence by reducing West Asian uncertainty.
- Falling Energy Costs: Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, fell 2.23% to USD 77.78 per barrel. Lower oil prices are expected to stabilize energy markets and help moderate inflationary pressures in India.
However, analysts noted that the initial optimism was partially tempered by hawkish remarks from the US Federal Reserve. There are concerns that energy-driven inflation could prompt central banks to consider interest rate hikes later this year.
Top Gainers and Losers: Sectoral Trends
The market saw a divergence in sectoral performance. Utilities, healthcare, power, and telecom stocks led the gains, while the IT and energy sectors faced selling pressure.
