Key Points:

Sensex and Nifty 50 ended with healthy gains, driven by financial and IT heavyweights.
Major European markets, especially France's CAC 40, contributed to the positive global sentiment.
HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Infosys, TCS, and Bajaj Finance were the top gainers in the Sensex index.

The Indian stock market closed with substantial gains on Monday, July 1, 2024, as both the Sensex and Nifty 50 indices posted healthy increases. This positive momentum was largely fueled by gains in select financial and IT heavyweight stocks, buoyed by favorable global cues.

The Sensex, the benchmark index of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), climbed 443 points, or 0.56%, to close at 79,476.19. Similarly, the Nifty 50 index of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) rose 131 points, or 0.55%, to end the session at 24,141.95. This upbeat performance was mirrored in mid-cap and small-cap segments, which saw even stronger buying interest. The BSE Midcap index reached a new record high of 46,711.27, eventually closing 1.11% higher at 46,670.66. The BSE Smallcap index also hit a fresh high of 52,981.03, settling with a gain of 1.58% at 52,951.73.

Global Influences

Positive sentiment from global markets significantly influenced the domestic market's performance. Major European indices were trading in the green during the session, with France's CAC 40 notably surging nearly 3% at one point. This surge was attributed to a reduction in political uncertainty following the first-round legislative elections, where Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally (RN) made historic gains.

Top Contributors

Leading the charge in the Sensex index were HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Infosys, TCS, and Bajaj Finance. These stocks emerged as the top contributors, driving the overall market higher. In the Nifty 50 index, Tech Mahindra led the gains with a 2.98% increase, followed by Wipro (up 2.40%) and Bajaj Finance (up 2.06%).

Sectoral Performance

The sectoral indices presented a mixed bag with most ending in positive territory. The Nifty Media and Nifty IT indices emerged as the top gainers, closing up by 2.42% and 1.97%, respectively. On the other hand, Nifty PSU Bank and Nifty Realty indices closed slightly lower, down 0.76% and 0.33%, respectively. The Nifty Bank index rose 0.44%, while the Nifty Financial Services index posted a healthy gain of 0.90%.

Market Capitalization

The overall market capitalization of firms listed on the BSE saw a substantial increase, rising to nearly ₹443.1 lakh crore from ₹439.2 lakh crore in the previous session. This represents a significant wealth gain of approximately ₹3.9 lakh crore for investors in a single trading session.

Top Nifty 50 Losers

Not all stocks shared in the gains, with NTPC (down 2.06%), Eicher Motors (down 0.92%), and Apollo Hospital (down 0.82%) ending as the top losers in the Nifty 50 index.

Conclusion

Monday's trading session highlighted the resilience of the Indian stock market, bolstered by strong performances from key financial and IT stocks and positive global market trends. Investors' wealth saw a considerable increase, reflecting overall market optimism. As global cues continue to play a significant role, market participants remain watchful of upcoming economic indicators and corporate earnings reports that could further influence market dynamics in the coming days.
