On Thursday, Indian stock markets reached new milestones, with both major indices closing at all-time highs.
The Sensex surged to a record close of 81,867, marking an increase of 126 points or 0.15%.
Meanwhile, the Nifty ended the day at 25,010, up 59 points or 0.24%, becoming the first time in history that the Nifty closed above the 25,000 mark.
Earlier in the day, both indices achieved new lifetime highs, with the Sensex touching 82,129 and the Nifty reaching 25,078.
However, the downturn in small-cap and mid-cap stocks tempered the enthusiasm.
The Nifty Midcap 100 index fell by 500 points, or 0.85%, to close at 58,490, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 index dropped by 187 points, or 0.98%, ending at 18,949.
Among the top performers on the Sensex were Power Grid, NTPC, HDFC Bank, Nestle, Maruti Suzuki, Reliance, Bharti Airtel, JSW Steel, and UltraTech Cement.
In contrast, M&M, Tata Steel, Bajaj Finserv, SBI, L&T, and Tata Motors were among the top laggards.
Mandar Bhojane, an Equity Research Analyst at Choice Broking, commented on the market’s performance.
He stated, “Nifty’s achievement of the 25,000 mark was a historic moment, reaching a high of 25,078.30 before encountering significant selling pressure. We anticipate the 24,950 level to provide immediate support.”
He further noted, “Dips in the market, particularly around the 24,800 and 24,600 levels, should be viewed as buying opportunities. The market is likely to maintain a bullish trend as long as it stays above 24,400.”
In terms of market volatility, the India VIX, which measures market fluctuations, fell by 2.42% to close at 12.9300, indicating a slight decrease in market uncertainty.
