Why the market moved

Indian markets rallied sharply on Thursday, with the SENSEX gaining 2.60% and the NIFTY 50 rising 2.40%, as strong global cues — including a Dow Jones surge of 2.64% and broad gains across Wall Street following US midterm election results — lifted sentiment. Banking and financial stocks led the charge, with NIFTY Bank jumping 3.33% and NIFTY Financial Services rising 3.99%, driven by big gains in Bajaj Finance, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank, while the Auto sector also stood out with NIFTY Auto climbing 4.14% on the back of strong moves in Mahindra & Mahindra and Maruti Suzuki. Breadth was healthy, with 39 of the 50 NIFTY stocks advancing, and foreign institutional investors had net bought shares worth ₹7,284 crore in the previous session. On the losing side, Capital Goods was the weakest sector, and stocks such as Apollo Hospitals, ONGC, NTPC, and Coal India ended in the red, though the cause of their specific declines is not clear from available data.
