Indian Stock Markets Hit Record Highs for Third Consecutive Session

Equity benchmarks, the Sensex and the Nifty 50, continued their record-setting streak for the third consecutive session on Wednesday, December 6. The positive sentiment is fueled by expectations of political stability post General Elections 2024 and a robust growth outlook.

Seven-Day Winning Streak

Both the Nifty 50 and the Sensex closed higher for the seventh consecutive session, with the Nifty 50 surging 5.8% and the Sensex gaining 5.6% during this period.

Factors Driving Market Sentiment

The positive market sentiment is attributed to robust Q2 GDP figures in India, a promising growth trajectory, diminishing inflationary pressures, steady interest rates, a downturn in US bond yields, and anticipated political stability post the upcoming General Elections.

Market Closing Highlights

• Nifty 50 closed at 20,937.70, up 83 points, or 0.40%.
• Sensex closed with a gain of 358 points, or 0.52%, at 69,653.73.
• Both indices closed at fresh record highs.
• Nifty 50 hit a record high of 20,961.95, and Sensex scaled its peak of 69,744.62 during the session.

Market Capitalization and Investor Gains

The overall market capitalization of BSE-listed firms rose to nearly ₹349 lakh crore, making investors richer by about ₹2.5 lakh crore in a single session. Over the seven-day rally, investors gained over ₹20 lakh crore.

Stocks and Sectoral Performance

• Over 370 stocks, including Larsen & Toubro, Mahindra and Mahindra, Nestle, NTPC, Power Grid Corporation, Sun Pharma, Tata Motors, and Titan, hit their fresh 52-week highs.
• Wipro, LTIMindtree, and ITC were the top gainers in the Nifty 50 index, while Adani Enterprises, Eicher Motors, and Cipla were the top laggards.

Expert’s Views and Technical Analysis

Market optimism post-state elections, receding inflation, dropping yields, and a robust reversal in FIIs are contributing to the positive momentum. Analysts suggest a consolidation is likely around the psychological level of 21,000 for Nifty. Short-term profit booking may occur, considering domestic premium valuation concerns.
