Indian benchmark indices continued their positive momentum on the 2nd of January, with both the Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty reaching new all-time highs. This market strength persisted despite soft global cues and ongoing selling pressure from foreign institutional investors (FIIs). Optimism surrounding upcoming corporate earnings and strong domestic participation helped boost overall investor sentiment.

At the close, the Sensex rose by 573.41 points, or 0.67%, to settle at 85,762.01, while the Nifty gained 182 points, or 0.70%, ending at 26,328.55, marking a solid start to the new trading year.

The market rally was broad-based, with most sectors advancing. Realty, PSU Bank, and Metal stocks performed the best, reflecting greater risk-taking by investors and optimism for improved earnings in cyclical sectors. FMCG was the only underperforming sector, as investors took profits after its recent strong gains.
