Monday’s trading session reflected a strong shift in market sentiment, opening on a bullish note after three consecutive sessions of decline. Investor confidence was buoyed by India’s robust GDP growth, which came in above market expectations, helping to drive a broad-based rally across the indices. Benchmark indices ended the day with healthy gains, suggesting renewed optimism despite lingering concerns reflected in some technical indicators. While the indices remained below key short-term moving averages, they held firm above longer-term support levels, indicating a degree of resilience in the current trend.
The positive sentiment was echoed across most sectoral indices, with particularly strong momentum seen in the auto and consumer durable segments, as key stocks posted impressive gains. Broader markets also participated in the upswing, with midcap and smallcap indices registering notable advances. However, not all sectors shared in the enthusiasm-media and pharma stocks came under mild pressure, suggesting selective profit booking and cautious rotation. Global cues were mixed, but largely did not dampen domestic optimism. Overall, the market mood turned positive, underpinned by encouraging economic fundamentals and widespread buying interest.
