Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) remained net buyers, investing Rs 1,440.66 crore, further boosting market confidence.
Sector-specific momentum was strongest in banking and financial services, with robust credit growth and RBI support driving buying activity. IT stocks also performed well, following positive quarterly announcements from leading companies.

Global indices offered mixed signals overnight. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.2%, the S&P 500 dropped 0.38%, and the Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.67%, as investors booked profits after a strong tech rally.

Indian stock market shows optimism amid global cues, strong IPO buzz; Where to invest?
Investors are closely monitoring ongoing Q2 earnings announcements, government policy updates, and macroeconomic indicators such as inflation data and industrial production.
Strong domestic demand, credit growth, and positive corporate earnings are expected to provide support. However, global uncertainties, including crude oil fluctuations and currency volatility, could impact intraday market movements.
Early trading today suggests a flat-to-positive opening with cautious optimism. Traders are advised to watch sectoral performance, particularly in banking, IT, and consumer goods, while monitoring key technical levels for potential breakouts or retracements.
