Indian stock market: Indian indices – and Nifty 50 – ended on a positive note on Friday, December 5, led by 25-basis-point rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the central bank’s proposal for a ₹1.45 lakh crore liquidity infusion through bond purchases and dollar-rupee swaps boosted domestic market sentiment.
Building on the previous session’s momentum, the climbed 447 points (0.52%) to close at 85,712.37, while the Nifty 50 advanced 153 points (0.59%) to finish at 26,186.45. The BSE Midcap index posted a slight gain of 0.21%, whereas the Smallcap index slipped 0.67%.
A rise in large- and mid-cap stocks pushed the total market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies to almost ₹471 lakh crore, up from ₹470 lakh crore in the prior session, adding about ₹1 lakh crore to investors’ wealth in a single day.
Stock market next week
Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking believes that the Indian stock market sentiment is positive as the index has surged near to 26,200 levels.
“ The key benchmark index is facing hurdle at 26,300. On breaking this hurdle on a closing basis, the 50-stock index may soon touch 26,500 and 26,800. So, one should maintain stock-specific approach and look at those stocks that are looking strong on the technical chart,” said Bagadia.
