The Information Technology index was also up about +0.4%, benefitting from positive global cues.

• Metals: Steel and aluminum producers gained on renewed demand outlook.
• IT: Strength mirrored overnight gains in U.S. tech stocks and stable global demand sentiment.
• PSU Banks: Only major laggards, down nearly –0.3% on profit booking.
• Auto & Financials: Both sectors traded positive with moderate gains (~0.2–0.4%).

Key Stocks Driving Market Momentum

According to Business Standard, index heavyweights such as Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, L&T and ITC contributed significantly to the market’s upside. The rally was supported by institutional buying in large-cap counters and strong derivative volumes.

Notable Company Action

Symphony Ltd gained sharply after the Gujarat High Court quashed a GST interest demand against the firm, boosting sentiment in small-cap stocks. As a result, both midcap and smallcap indices were seen trading 0.4–0.5% higher by mid-morning.

Global & Domestic Sentiment

Global cues remained supportive. Analysts cited growing optimism over a potential U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut as a key reason behind positive flows into emerging markets like India. Crude oil prices were largely stable, and USD-INR held near 83.20, keeping import-driven sectors comfortable.

Analyst Perspective

“Market breadth remains positive with energy and financial stocks leading the charge. If global cues stay steady, indices could see further upside into the week,” said the Trading Shastra Market Desk.

The upbeat sentiment was visible across market segments, supported by strong participation from retail and domestic institutional investors.
