Market Overview: Positive Start and Strong Close

Indian stock market witnessed a robust trading session yesterday, opening slightly above the previous day’s closing levels. The Nifty 50 index steadily gained throughout the day, driven by strong performances in the auto and IT sectors, and closed significantly higher. However, media stocks lagged behind, marking the only sectoral decline for the day.

Auto stocks emerged as the best performers, riding high on strong sales data and positive market sentiment. IT stocks followed closely, benefiting from global trends and investor optimism. Media stocks, on the other hand, faced selling pressure, leading to a subdued performance.
