Indian equities closed on a positive note today, tracking upbeat global sentiment. The Sensex advanced 336 points to 83,871, while the Nifty gained 121 points to end at 25,695. Investor confidence was buoyed by easing concerns over the U.S. fiscal situation and hopes of improved trade momentum.
Strong buying in IT, auto, and metal counters supported the rally, reflecting renewed risk appetite. However, banking and healthcare stocks witnessed mild profit-booking, limiting broader market gains. Overall, the mood remained cautiously optimistic ahead of key macroeconomic data later this week.
