Noida, May 14 (APAC Media): Indian equity markets Sensex and Nifty rallied sharply on Thursday, with benchmark indices extending gains on the back of positive global and domestic cues.
The BSE Sensex surged over 800 points during intraday trade, while the NSE Nifty breached the 23,650 level, underscoring renewed investor confidence. Broad-based buying was seen across sectors, driving the market higher through the session.
The rally followed a spell of volatility in recent sessions, as investors responded positively to improving global sentiment and growing expectations of supportive policy measures.
Market participants also kept a close watch on developments in international trade negotiations and broader macroeconomic stability, which aided risk appetite and boosted buying across equities.
The uptrend was largely supported by firm global cues, with Asian and other international equities trading in positive territory.
Market sentiment was also buoyed by optimism over renewed US-China diplomatic engagement, easing concerns around geopolitical tensions. Furthermore, softening bond yields added to the favourable backdrop for equities, strengthening investor appetite for risk assets.
Domestic factors also contributed to the rally, with expectations of government measures to attract foreign investment, including potential tax-related incentives, supporting buying interest.
Meanwhile, sustained corporate earnings strength reinforced confidence that India Inc. continues to deliver stable financial performance despite prevailing global uncertainties.
On a sectoral basis, the rally was broad-based, with financials, energy, and select large-cap stocks leading the gains. Institutional buying interest further underpinned market momentum, while short-covering in the derivatives segment added to the upward move.
However, analysts cautioned that volatility may persist amid external headwinds, including fluctuating crude oil prices, currency pressure, and continued foreign portfolio investor (FPI) outflows. Despite these risks, the near-term market outlook remains positive, supported by ample liquidity conditions and improving global cues.
Overall, the sharp rise in the Sensex and Nifty underscores renewed optimism in Indian equities, driven by a mix of global stability signals, domestic policy expectations, and robust corporate fundamentals.
