Market Overview
The Indian stock market today closed on a steady note as benchmark indices extended their winning streak for the sixth session in a row.
The Nifty 50 managed to stay above the crucial 25,800 level, while the Sensex hovered near its 52-week high amid optimism around quarterly earnings, festive season demand, and FII inflows.
Despite the positive sentiment, broader markets witnessed mild profit-booking, particularly in the Midcap Nifty, which ended slightly in the red.
