Sensex and Nifty rebound
The BSE Sensex climbed 329.06 points (0.40%) to close at 81,635.91. During the session, it went up by as much as 492.21 points, touching 81,799.06.
The NSE Nifty 50 gained 97.65 points (0.39%), finishing at 24,967.75.
Sector and stock performance
Among Sensex companies, Infosys, TCS, HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, Tata Motors, Sun Pharma, Maruti, and Titan were the top gainers. On the other hand, Bharat Electronics, Asian Paints, Bharti Airtel, and ICICI Bank ended in the red.
IT stocks outperformed the broader market, supported by positive global demand outlook and optimism in the technology sector.
Global market support
Most Asian markets also closed higher on Monday, with South Korea’s Kospi, Japan’s Nikkei 225, Shanghai Composite, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng posting gains. However, European markets traded lower in early sessions.
In the US, markets ended on a strong note last Friday:
-
Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 1.89%
-
Nasdaq Composite gained 1.88%
-
S&P 500 rose 1.52%
The rally was driven by expectations that the US Fed may cut interest rates in September, after signs of easing inflation and lower bond yields.
Expert view
“A wave of optimism swept through the domestic market, driven by expectations of a Fed rate cut in September and a subsequent decline in the US 10-year yield. The IT index outperformed, buoyed by favourable global sentiment. The domestic levers stay positive with the proposed GST rationalisation to push consumption demand, and a good monsoon season could serve as a catalyst to navigate any uncertainty in the global trade environment,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments.
