The stock market has seen a substantial uplift in a remarkable display of market strength. The Sensex and Nifty indices have demonstrated impressive gains, igniting a wave of optimism among investors and market watchers alike.
As the week kicked off, the stock market greeted investors with a robust rally. The BSE Sensex soared, crossing the significant 71,000 threshold and marking a notable point at 71,204.14 in the early trading hours. Simultaneously, the NSE Nifty wasn’t far behind, with a near 200-point leap surpassing the 21,500 mark and reaching a morning high of 21,531.15 points.
Continued Growth
The market’s initial surge was not a fleeting moment. As the clock struck 10:08 AM, the Sensex continued its ascent, climbing over 600 points to settle at 71,366.99. In tandem, the Nifty50 also kept its momentum, gaining over 200 points to stand firm at 21,563.45, showcasing a market in a strong upward motion.
Prior Market Condition
Before this surge, the markets were navigating a recovery path, marked by the previous Thursday’s trading session. Despite an attempt to bounce back, the markets closed slightly lower, influenced by profit-taking activities in key stock sectors and the impact of monthly F&O expiry. The S&P BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty50 experienced a dip, hitting intra-day lows but setting the stage for the subsequent rally.
Anticipations and Expert Views
This week is teeming with anticipation, especially with significant macroeconomic announcements on the horizon. The spotlight is on the upcoming Interim Budget, scheduled for release on February 1 by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. While it’s an interim budget, minor policy tweaks are expected, drawing keen interest from market participants.
Furthermore, the US Fed’s stance on the interest rate policy will be closely watched during the Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Markets are also gearing up for the quarterly earnings reports from major companies, adding another layer of excitement and anticipation.
Experts like Vinod Nair and Santosh Meena have weighed in, highlighting the influence of policy rate decisions and the importance of the upcoming budget. The market is expected to be highly reactive to these events, with a strong focus on stock-specific movements as the earnings season unfolds.
