The BSE Sensex surged by 326 points, while the NSE Nifty-50 successfully breached and sustained the critical 23,100 level, closing at 23,105. Positive global cues and strong domestic buying interest helped the market recover from earlier volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rally was largely driven by heavyweights in the IT, Banking, and Automobile sectors. Stocks like Reliance Industries, Infosys, and ICICI Bank were among the top gainers, providing the necessary momentum to the indices. However, due to the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, sectors sensitive to crude oil prices, such as aviation and paints, saw some selling pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technical analysts suggest that Nifty closing above 23,100 is a strong bullish indicator for the coming week. If the momentum continues, the market could potentially target the 23,350 resistance level soon. Investors are advised to stay cautious regarding international news flows and focus on sector-specific movements while maintaining a diversified portfolio in this upward-trending market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indian stock market ended the week on a jubilant note as both major indices registered significant gains on Friday.
