On Monday, December 23, 2024, Indian stock markets experienced a notable rise, with both benchmark indices advancing by 0.73%. The Nifty 50 climbed to 23,758.2 points, while the BSE Sensex reached 78,609.47. This upward movement was primarily driven by gains in financial and metal sectors.
HDFC Bank led the financial sector's growth, appreciating nearly 2%. Analysts at Emkay Global have raised the bank's target price to ₹2,100, citing its attractive valuations and superior asset quality.
The metal sector also saw significant gains, rising by 1.3%. This increase followed the Directorate General of Trade Remedies' initiation of a safeguard probe into steel imports, a move that could benefit companies like Tata Steel and JSW Steel.
In individual stock performances, Tech Mahindra's shares rose by 1.68% to ₹1,713.50, outperforming some competitors. However, the trading volume was notably lower than its 50-day average.
Reliance Industries also saw a rise of 1.33% to ₹1,222.10, with trading volumes significantly surpassing its 50-day average.
Despite these gains, broader market indices such as the Nifty Midcap100 and Nifty Smallcap100 remained flat, indicating that the rally was concentrated in large-cap stocks. Analysts caution that sustained market recovery will depend on improvements in corporate earnings.
