Indian stock market: The market benchmarks—the Sensex and the Nifty 50—recorded substantial gains, reaching new all-time highs during the session and closing at fresh peaks, on July 3.
The Sensex surpassed the significant 80,000 mark for the first time, peaking at 80,074.3 during the session. Meanwhile, the Nifty 50 also achieved a new high of 24,309.15. The Sensex concluded the day with a gain of 545 points, or 0.69 percent, closing at 79,986.80, while the Nifty 50 ended 163 points, or 0.67 percent, higher at 24,286.50.
“Markets continued their ongoing streak of making new highs supported by firm global trends. Nifty crossed the 24300 mark while Sensex breached the historic 80,000 mark amid buying in banking stocks. Nifty closed with gains of 163 points (0.7%) at 24287 levels. All sectors ended in green including broader space. Private Banks saw healthy buying of 2% after HDFC Bank released its Q1FY25 shareholding data, wherein the FII ownership has declined to 54.8%, below the 55% mark, indicating greater MSCI inflows. Markets cheered the dovish commentary from US Fed Chair Powell. This along with healthy domestic macros and hope of a growth-focused budget led to a positive up-move in the market. We expect this ongoing momentum to continue in the near term. Indian Equities tomorrow would react to release of US Fed meeting minutes and US, Europe, and Asia -Service and Composite PMI data today,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.
