The Indian stock market exhibited strong bullish momentum today, with the Nifty 50 closing at a fresh all-time high of 22,420 (↑0.50%) and the Sensex gaining 0.45% to end at 73,895, driven by robust buying in banking, auto, and metal stocks. Investor sentiment remained upbeat amid expectations of a rate cut by the RBI later this year, while global cues were mixed with US markets showing resilience despite inflation concerns. Adani Ports (+4.2%) and Tata Steel (+3.8%) emerged as top gainers, while ITC (-1.8%) and Bajaj Finance (-1.5%) faced profit booking. Midcap and smallcap stocks outperformed, reflecting broad-based participation, though volatility (India VIX) eased slightly by 2%, signaling reduced near-term uncertainty. Suzlon Energy (+20% upper circuit) surged on renewable energy optimism, while Reliance Power (-5% lower circuit) continued its downtrend. Dividend-paying stocks like TCS (₹24/share) and Coal India (₹5/share) attracted investor interest, reinforcing the market’s risk-on sentiment with selective caution in overvalued sectors.
