Indian markets ended on a bullish note with Sensex nearing 65,000 mark and Nifty 50 crossing over 19,400 levels. Except consumer durables stocks, all other sectoral indices witnessed sharp buying. Realty, healthcare, oil & gas, metal, financials and banking stocks saw substantial buying. Midcaps and smallcaps rallied as well.
Divi's Lab, Eicher Motors, Hero MotoCorp, and L&T were top gainers, while SBI, Hindustan Unilever, Cipla, Tata Motors and Titan were top laggards.
On the market performance, Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, said, "Optimism continued as soft US payroll data and expectations of moderation in monetary tightening by the Fed supported the sentiment. Since most of the headwinds are global in nature, investor sentiment has shifted to domestic-oriented businesses, where festive demand is healthy."
Nair added, "So far, the spread of earnings in Q2 has been decent and brings more attention to capital goods, financials, and auto stocks. We expect H2FY24 will also continue the momentum, however, the tailwinds on margins are likely to moderate due to the recent uptick in commodity prices."
