Stock market update today
India’s benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, began Monday’s session on a positive note, supported by gains in Reliance Industries and IT stocks, as Asian markets tracked Wall Street’s rally following U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s hint at a possible rate cut next month.
The BSE Sensex rose 207.24 points, or 0.25 per cent, to open at 81,514.09, while the NSE Nifty advanced 54.05 points, or 0.22 per cent, to start at 24,924.15.
Among the top performers on the Sensex were Infosys, TCS, Tech Mahindra, HCL Technologies, and Bajaj Finance, each climbing between 1.3 per cent and 1.5 per cent.
Last week, both Nifty and Sensex each gained around 1 per cent, driven by proposed adjustments to goods and services tax (GST) rates and S&P’s upgrade of India’s sovereign rating.
