Dalal Street started the holiday-shortened week on a strong note, with broad-based buying and that classic year-end “risk-on” flavour returning. Nifty jumped back above 26,150, Sensex closed comfortably above 85,500, and the market breadth stayed supportive.

🧠 What Drove the Market Today? (Major Events + Impact)
1) 🌍 Global cues stayed supportive

2) 💵 FII mood improved + rupee recovery story
Markets tracked the improvement in foreign flow sentiment, helped by the rupee stabilisation narrative and recent foreign inflows. Reuters also highlighted foreign buying momentum coming back after the rupee rebound.
3) 🏦 RBI minutes + rate-cut hopes kept the “Santa rally” chatter alive
Rate-cut expectations and supportive macro messaging kept the downside limited and encouraged positional buying into the year-end.
🏁 Sector Performance (Who Led, Who Lagged)
✅ Leaders (today’s leadership)
IT: strong buying, helped by global tech tone and stock-specific momentum (Infosys/Wipro/TechM in focus).
Metals / Commodities-linked plays: support from the broader commodity upmove and stock-specific action.
Financials: participated, though Bank Nifty moved slower than headline indices.
⚠️ Laggards
Pockets like select defensives/consumption names showed mild profit-booking while the market chased momentum sectors.

🏅 Indian Markets Post Market Report – Stock of the Day
⭐ Trent
Why it makes sense today:
It led the Nifty performer list, showing strong momentum participation in a bullish session. How to track it (simple, non-hype): If the market stays strong and this stock holds gains without giving back quickly, it often signals “buyers are serious,” not just intraday chasing.
💼 Investment Ideas (Short-term vs Long-term)
🔸 Short-term (1–10 trading sessions)
Stay levels-driven: Nifty near 26,200–26,300 is the immediate decision zone. Prefer leaders (IT/quality financials) over random midcaps after a gap-up day. If VIX remains calm, breakouts tend to follow-through.
🔹 Long-term (6–36 months)
Keep it boring (that’s where money is made): Core SIPs in diversified equity funds Quality banks + top IT + consumption leaders Add gold only as portfolio hedge, not as a “get rich quick” trade
