The domestic benchmarks extended gains on 31st December as investor sentiment improved, supported by buying at lower levels. This came even as global markets remained weak and concerns over continued foreign investor selling persisted. The recovery highlighted resilience in domestic participation as the market stepped into the new series.
The Sensex climbed 545.50 points (0.64%) to close at 85,220.60, while the Nifty advanced 190.75 points (0.74%) to settle at 26,129.60, signaling a firm undertone heading into the new year.
Sectoral trends reflected a clear tilt toward cyclical and value stocks. Nifty Oil & Gas emerged as the top-performing sector of the day. Buying interest was also visible in PSU Banks, Private Banks, Metals, and Auto stocks, indicating renewed confidence in economically sensitive sectors.
In contrast, Nifty IT underperformed and was the only sector to close in the red, weighed down by cautious sentiment in global technology markets.
