Indian stock indices Sensex and Nifty 50 started the week with modest gains, approaching record highs on Monday. These indices extended the upward momentum from the previous trading session. On Friday, the Sensex reached new record levels, while the Nifty was just shy of its own peak.
The market was bolstered by the Reserve Bank of India’s policy announcements, which met expectations, and increased clarity regarding the NDA government’s continuity.
Throughout the week of June 3 to June 7, both the Sensex and Nifty saw nearly 4% gains. Broader markets rebounded robustly after a sharp decline on Tuesday, although the Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices ended the week with losses exceeding 3% each. The rally was driven by strong performances in the Auto, IT, and FMCG sectors.
