The Sensex rose over 400 points before settling 326.28 points higher at 74,496.23, while the Nifty 50 gained 107.50 points, surpassing 22,600. Banking and financial stocks, including ICICI Bank and Zomato, led the rally. Broader markets saw gains in smallcaps and midcaps, though volatility remained high. Analysts noted domestic economic improvements, including a rebound in GDP growth and lower inflation, but cautioned that global headwinds like tariff wars and foreign fund outflows could limit sustained gains. Markets are expected to trade in a range without a sharp breakout.
