Indian Markets Extend Gains as Positive Global Sentiment Supports Broad-Based Rally<\/p>\n

Indian equity indices ended higher on Friday, with the Sensex settling 450 points higher and the Nifty closing near 26,050, extending the previous session\u2019s rally led by a U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut. The markets gained strength from upbeat global cues, renewed risk appetite across Asian indices and broad sectoral buying, even as the benchmarks still logged a modest weekly decline.<\/p>\n

The Nifty 50 closed 0.57% higher at 26,046.95, while the BSE Sensex rose 0.53% to 85,267.66, building on Thursday\u2019s Fed-driven 0.5% rebound. Despite the strong finish to the week, both indices still recorded a 0.5% weekly loss, as investors booked profits near record highs earlier in the week.<\/p>\n

Fed Rate Cut and Asian Market Optimism Fuel Domestic Buying Interest<\/h2>\n

Market sentiment strengthened after the U.S. Federal Reserve announced a 25-basis-point interest rate cut, accompanied by a softer stance on inflation and rising concerns around the U.S. labour market. Analysts noted that the Fed\u2019s commentary reflected a dovish tilt, a positive signal for emerging markets such as India, where foreign inflows are often sensitive to global rate movements.<\/p>\n

Asian markets mirrored this optimism, with South Korea\u2019s Kospi, Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225 and Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng trading sharply higher. U.S. indices also closed mostly in the green overnight, contributing to favorable sentiment in Indian markets.<\/p>\n

Metals and Realty Lead Sectoral Advance While FMCG and PSU Banks Lag<\/h2>\n

Sector-wise, metals staged a strong rebound, emerging as the top performers of the day. The metal index climbed 2.63%, driven by demand optimism after China\u2014one of the world\u2019s largest commodity consumers\u2014announced a fiscal boost for 2026. Realty stocks also surged, gaining 1.53%, supported by strong quarterly pre-sales and steady institutional buying.<\/p>\n

Consumer durables, oil & gas, and auto stocks posted moderate gains. However, FMCG and media shares underperformed, slipping 0.24% and 0.05% respectively, as investors rotated capital into higher-beta sectors.<\/p>\n

Midcap stocks outperformed the broader market, with more than 2,324 shares advancing, only 1,036 declining, and 145 remaining unchanged, reflecting strong breadth in the broader market.<\/p>\n

Top Gainers and Losers: Metals Shine, FMCG Drags<\/h2>\n

Among Nifty50 constituents, Tata Steel (+3.38%), Hindalco (+3.26%), Eternal (+2.37%), UltraTech Cement (+2.25%), and Larsen & Toubro (+1.72%) were the top gainers, benefiting from strong global commodity cues and robust domestic demand.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Hindustan Unilever (-1.80%), Max Healthcare (-0.73%), Sun Pharma (-0.72%), ITC (-0.55%), and Asian Paints (-0.52%) were the major laggards, reflecting sectoral rotation and short-term volatility in defensive counters.<\/p>\n

Bank Nifty also closed in the green, rising 0.30% to 59,389.95, supported by private lenders even as PSU banks underperformed.<\/p>\n

Market Breadth Strengthens as Advance\u2013Decline Ratio Indicates Broad Buying Support<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Market breadth remained firmly positive on Friday, reflecting strong participation across the broader market despite volatility in select sectors. The Advance\u2013Decline Ratio<\/strong> showed a clear tilt toward buyers, highlighting improving sentiment across midcap and smallcap segments.<\/p>\n

The India VIX<\/strong>, the volatility indicator, fell 2.81% to 10.11<\/strong>, signalling reduced market uncertainty and encouraging traders to take positions more confidently. A declining VIX often corresponds with increased risk appetite, and Friday\u2019s movement aligned with the broader rally seen across equities.<\/p>\n
