Stock market news: The Indian stock market experienced a rebound in the last trading session of the week, with both the Sensex and Nifty 50 climbing by around 1%, fueled by optimistic sentiment surrounding US-China trade discussions.
On Friday, the indices received a boost from investments in major firms such as Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank, and ITC. Additionally, anticipation of a historic dividend from the RBI, combined with dropping US Treasury yields, improved investor confidence, as noted by traders. The Sensex concluded at 81,721.08, an increase of 769.08 points or 0.95%, while the Nifty 50 wrapped up at 24,853.15, gaining 243.45 points or 0.99%.
Experts highlighted that the Indian stock market encountered heightened volatility over the week, predominantly due to shifts in global bond markets. Despite a strong start to the week, poor performance in US bond auctions and rising Treasury yields prompted a global risk-averse mindset, causing substantial midweek sell-offs in Indian equities.
Looking ahead, investors will keep an eye on the upcoming Indian GDP data, along with US budget announcements, inflation figures, and weekly unemployment claims, to evaluate the strength and trajectory of economic recovery both at home and abroad.
