Indian equity benchmarks ended the session on January 28th with impressive gains. The Nifty surged above the 25,300 mark, showcasing sustained bullish momentum in the domestic market. This positive sentiment was further fueled by optimism surrounding the India–EU Free Trade Agreement, which is expected to enhance trade prospects and support medium-term economic growth.
While domestic markets saw strong performance, global markets traded with mixed results. Investors remained cautious as they awaited the U.S. Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy decision. Though interest rates are expected to remain unchanged, market participants are closely monitoring the Fed Chair’s guidance on the potential timing and pace of rate cuts later this year.
By the close of trading, the Sensex gained 487.20 points, or 0.60%, reaching 82,344.68. The Nifty also posted solid gains, rising by 167.35 points, or 0.66%, settling at 25,342.75.
Sector performance saw positive momentum in Media, Metal, Energy, Oil & Gas, Realty, and PSU Banks, with each of these sectors rising by 1 to 4%. However, FMCG, Consumer Durables, and Pharma sectors ended the day lower, contributing to a mixed sectoral outlook.
