Domestic equity markets ended the day with gains today after a flat start. In the last hour of trading, markets rose as much as 1% despite headwinds in the global equities. Nifty 50 closed 126 points higher. Sensex ended up by 446 points.

Today, markets started the day with very little movement as interest concerns were restricting the gains. The Nifty index was near its all-time high and Sensex eased after touching an intraday high.

Nifty Bank and Financial Services stocks drove the rally, joined by Realty. All other sectoral indices ended the day on a positive note.

Nifty Bank was up by 1%, and Nifty Midcap 50 stocks closed 0.62% higher.

In today’s trade, HDFC Life, Apollo Hospital, SBI, JSW Steel, and SBI Life emerged as the top gainers. Cipla, Britannia, Tata Consumer, Adani Ports, and UPL were the top laggards.

In terms of value, the most active stocks were HDFC Bank, HDFC, HDFC Life, ICICI Bank, and Reliance. While in volume terms, HDFC Life, Tata Steel, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and SBI were the top stocks.
