The Indian equity market ended Friday on a strong note: Sensex rose by 223–224 points, closing around 81,207, while Nifty50 climbed ~58 points to land above 24,894. Broad gains were led by metal, consumer, and financial stocks.
Analysts attributed the rally to dovish global cues, optimism around potential rate cuts, and domestic liquidity inflows. The rally also coincides with renewed interest in mid-caps and select thematic bets.
