Indian equity markets ended the session on a positive note in a volatile trading day, with benchmark indices recovering from intraday lows to close higher.
The Nifty hovered around the 25,800 level through most of the session. The late rebound was supported by improved investor sentiment after favourable comments from the United States Ambassador on the possibility of a trade deal, ahead of upcoming negotiations.
Despite the recovery in equities, demand for safe-haven assets remained intact as geopolitical tensions continued to persist. This supported precious metals, which extended their ongoing rally during the session.
The commodities space outperformed the broader market, aided by firm metal prices. Gains were driven by supply-side constraints and renewed buying interest across the metals complex.
At the close of trade, the Sensex rose by 301.93 points, or 0.36%, to settle at 83,878.17. The Nifty advanced by 106.95 points, or 0.42%, to close at 25,790.25.
From a sectoral perspective, metal stocks led the gains with a rise of around 2%. PSU banks and FMCG stocks also ended higher, gaining 0.7% and 0.6%, respectively. In contrast, capital goods, pharma, media, and realty indices declined in the range of 0.5% to 1.5%.
In the broader market, midcap stocks ended largely flat, while the small-cap index slipped by 0.5%.
Among individual stocks, Coal India emerged as one of the top performers, gaining around 3.39%. Infosys, on the other hand, recorded the sharpest decline, ending the session lower by 1.02%.
