At the close, the Nifty 50 was at 24,800.85 up by 0.76%
The Indian stock market continues its record-breaking run! Today, the Nifty 50 soared past a crucial milestone, closing above 24,800 for the very first time. But can the party continue, or will we see a correction?
This surge comes after a few days of consolidation, indicating a decisive breakout for the index. Experts are bullish, pointing to positive momentum indicators and a series of “higher highs” in recent sessions. This momentum could propel the Nifty towards the much-anticipated 25,000 mark, possibly even before the upcoming Union Budget on July 23rd!
The ride wasn’t entirely smooth, though. The day started with some volatility, but buying interest in IT, banking, and FMCG stocks pushed the index higher. Notably, 24,500 seems to be a new support level, offering a buffer against potential dips.
The question on everyone’s mind: Will the Nifty touch 25,000 before the Budget? With positive technical indicators and strong sectoral performance, it seems like a strong possibility. However, only time will tell if this upward trend can be sustained.
Bank Nifty: Up by 0.43%
The Bank Nifty, a key index for banking stocks, started lower but managed to climb 0.43% by the closing bell, settling comfortably at 52,620.70. This indicates investor confidence returning to the banking sector.
Similarly, the BSE Sensex, a broader market index encompassing various sectors, mirrored the Nifty’s performance. The Sensex rose by a healthy 0.78%, reaching a new closing high of 81,343.46.
In the sectorial front, the IT sector emerged as a clear winner, surging a notable 2.22%. Leading the charge were LTIMindtree, which skyrocketed by a whopping 3.48%, and Tata Consultancy Services, which climbed 2.84%.
However, not all sectors shared the same fate. The media industry took a significant hit, plummeting a concerning 3.57%. This downturn was particularly evident with Zee Entertainment Enterprises, which nosedived a staggering 8.22%, and Hathway Cable & Datacom, which also fell sharply by 6.90%.
FIIs/FPIs recorded a buy value of Rs. 25,520.62 crore and a sale value of Rs. 20,036.99 crore, resulting in a net investment of Rs. 5,483.63 crore.
In contrast, DIIs reported a buy value of Rs. 15,676.29 crore and a higher sale value of Rs. 18,580.54 crore, leading to a net outflow of Rs. -2,904.25 crore.

The Nifty Banking sector had some gainers and some losers for the day.

Rupee Hits All-Time Low Against Dollar: Will Record Stock Market Save the Day?
The Indian Rupee is facing some headwinds. Today, it depreciated by 6 paise, settling at a new all-time low of 83.64 against the US Dollar. This decline can be attributed to two main factors: a strengthening US Dollar in global markets and rising crude oil prices.
While the situation isn’t ideal, there are a few silver linings. Positive performance in the domestic stock market and recent foreign investments are helping to cushion the blow.
So, is this the start of a long-term trend, or just a temporary blip? The answer isn’t clear-cut. Fluctuations in crude oil prices and the overall strength of the US Dollar will continue to play a role. However, strong domestic markets could offer some support to the Rupee.
The big question remains: will the Rupee continue to weaken, or will it find its footing and bounce back? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – the coming days will be interesting to watch for currency market enthusiasts.
