Overview

  • Sensex and Nifty extended their rally to a seventh consecutive session, with Sensex surpassing the 80,000 mark and Nifty nearing 24,360 in early trade on April 23, 2025.
  • Banking and FMCG sectors have been key drivers of the rally, supported by strong Q4 earnings and sustained foreign institutional investor (FII) inflows.
  • Global cues, including hopes of reduced US-China tariffs and stabilizing US monetary policy, have bolstered investor confidence and spurred gains in Asian markets.
  • Gold futures reached record highs, crossing ₹1 lakh per 10 grams, reflecting strong demand and a favorable global macroeconomic environment.
  • Analysts suggest the market's bullish momentum may soon invite profit booking, though domestic fundamentals remain supportive of continued growth.
