Sensex jumps as metals shine, it lags behind
The Sensex climbed 395 points to 85,213 and Nifty rose 120 points to 26,018 on Friday morning.
The big push came from metal stocks like Hindalco and Tata Steel, while IT shares slipped a bit.
Why does this matter?
Markets had been down for three days straight—so today's bounce is a sign of renewed confidence.
Young investors might want to note: sectors like metals, auto, and pharma are driving the comeback.
Plus, strong buying from domestic investors is helping balance out foreign sell-offs.
What's fueling the rally?
A rebound across sectors—especially metals—and fresh inflows from Indian institutional investors (DIIs) have boosted the mood.
Experts say for this recovery to stick, Nifty needs to stay above 25,950.
Just watch out: a weak rupee could still hold things back if global trends turn rough.
