POST-MARKET SUMMARY 8th April 2024
On April 8th, both the benchmark Nifty 50 and the 30-stock Sensex commenced trading with gains and maintained momentum to achieve new record highs. This upward trajectory was supported by positive signals from global markets, along with a rally in prominent auto stocks and select heavyweights such as Reliance Industries. Additionally, the Nifty Bank index reached unprecedented levels, surpassing the 48,700-mark for the first time, driven by renewed investor confidence amid expectations of political stability surrounding the forthcoming Lok Sabha Elections in 2024. In terms of sectoral performance, auto, energy, infrastructure, metal, and real estate saw gains of 1-2%, while PSU banks, information technology, and media indices experienced declines of 0.5-1%.
