Sensex, Nifty End Higher on Broad Market Gains
Indian equity markets closed higher on December 12 as buying interest returned across key sectors. The BSE Sensex ended the session with solid gains, while the Nifty 50 comfortably held above the 26,000 level. The recovery came after recent volatility, with investors responding positively to supportive global cues and improved domestic sentiment.
Sectoral Stocks Lead the Rally
Gains were led by stocks in the banking, financial services and metal sectors, which saw strong buying through the session. Select heavyweight stocks contributed significantly to the upward move in benchmark indices. Mid-cap and small-cap stocks also participated in the rally, reflecting broader market strength rather than narrow index-driven gains.
Global Cues and Domestic Expectations
Market sentiment was supported by stability in global markets following recent developments in international monetary policy. Investors also positioned themselves ahead of upcoming domestic economic data, including inflation figures, which are expected to guide near-term policy expectations. Traders said the rebound suggests cautious optimism returning to Dalal Street.
Focus Shifts to Key Data
With the current session ending on a positive note, attention is now shifting to macroeconomic indicators and corporate updates in the coming days. Analysts said sustained momentum will depend on data trends and global risk appetite, even as short-term volatility remains a possibility.
