Indian equity markets ended on a positive note with Sensex gaining 208 points to close at 84,274 and Nifty reclaiming the 25,900 level, closing at 25,935. The auto and metal sectors were the top performers, rising 1.15% and 1.92% respectively, driven by strong corporate earnings and positive sector outlook.

PSU banks continued their strong run with a 1.85% gain, led by State Bank of India which reported robust Q3 results. However, textile stocks declined 2.15% amid concerns over the US-India trade deal framework, which may not provide expected benefits to the sector.

Corporate earnings remained positive with most companies beating estimates. Titan, Grasim, and Eicher Motors reported strong numbers, boosting investor sentiment. The pharma sector was the only major laggard, declining 0.33% due to profit booking.

Foreign institutional investors remained net buyers with ₹325 crore inflow, while domestic institutional investors were more aggressive with ₹580 crore net investment. The positive FII flow indicates continued foreign interest in Indian markets despite global uncertainties.

Technical indicators suggest the market is in a bullish phase with both Nifty and Sensex showing positive momentum. The Fear & Greed Index at 62 indicates market greed, suggesting investors are optimistic about future prospects.

Tomorrow’s market movement will be influenced by inflation data, global cues from the US Fed meeting, and corporate earnings announcements. Overall, the market sentiment remains positive with strong fundamentals supporting the current rally.
