Indian Markets

The Nifty50 scaled new heights, briefly crossing 25,000, while the Sensex rallied over 1,000 points intraday.

Banking, auto, and infra stocks led the charge; midcaps and smallcaps also participated in the rally.

What This Means for Investors

Stay invested in large-caps as policy reforms and rating upgrades support long-term bullish momentum. Banking & infra sectors could continue to outperform on reform tailwinds. Be cautious in mid & smallcaps—participation is strong, but volatility risk is rising. Global caution means short-term volatility; staggered entries remain a safer strategy.
