The market’s stellar gains indicated a potential seventh consecutive week of closing in the green, a feat last achieved three years ago. Hopes of an easing macroeconomic environment due to earlier-than-expected cuts in US interest rates continued to boost sentiment for the information technology sector, lifting the Nifty IT index by nearly 4%.
A cooling dollar index supported a rally in metal stocks, with the Nifty Metal index gaining nearly 2%. The BSE Midcap index was trading flat, while the Smallcap index was up by 0.7%. Among sectors, Metal, Oil & Gas, and Information Technology were up by 1-4%, while FMCG and Realty indices were trading in the red.
Key Nifty gainers included HCL Tech, TCS, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, and LTI Mindtree. On the other hand, key Nifty losers were HDFC Life, Nestle, SBI Life, ITC, and Britannia.
