After a day marked by fluctuating trends, sentiment improved in the latter half as selective buying in large-cap stocks helped lift the broader market. The banking index outperformed, with the Bank Nifty climbing nearly 0.60 per cent, supported by strength in private sector lenders.
Gains were also visible across IT, real estate, and media stocks, contributing to the market’s upward movement. On the flip side, sectors such as pharma, FMCG, and public sector banks saw continued selling pressure and ended the session in negative territory. Volatility cooled during the day, with the India VIX easing 3 per cent to settle at 12.18, indicating a relatively stable market environment heading into the next trading session.
