Business
After a rough Thursday, Indian markets bounced back strong on Friday.
The Sensex jumped over 600 points, and the Nifty climbed past 25,600—recovering some of the ground lost in yesterday's big sell-off caused by global tensions.
Midcap and smallcap stocks also saw solid gains
Friday's rally helped add about ₹3 lakh crore to market cap.
Midcap and smallcap stocks also saw solid gains, hinting at renewed confidence and possible fresh opportunities for investors looking to get back in.
Power, banking, and metal stocks were the stars of the day
Power, banking, and metal stocks were the stars of the day—public sector banks rose around 1%, Hindalco gained over 2%, while FMCG names like Hindustan Unilever also moved up.
However, IT and auto shares didn't join the party and stayed under pressure.
