On Thursday, the Nifty index opened above 22600 and, despite some initial volatility, gained impressive strength as the day went on. The index approached the significant 23000 mark before closing at 22968, up by 370 points or 1.64%.
The bulls made a strong comeback on Dalal Street, with benchmark indices reaching fresh record highs. Nifty closed just shy of the coveted 23000 mark amid widespread buying across most sectors, excluding metal and pharma, and disregarding the hawkish Fed minutes. The index posted a record gain, driven by leading sectors such as banking and automotive outperforming the rest.
The market remained buoyant, supported by the composite HSBC PMI data for May, which indicated strong economic expansion. Additionally, the early onset of the southwest monsoon provided a much-needed boost to the domestic market, which had been underperforming compared to other emerging markets over the past two months.
