India’s Nifty 50 index provisionally closed 1.23% higher on November 26, marking its strongest intraday jump in five months. Gains in metals, power, and mid-cap stocks drove the rally, supported by a weaker US dollar and positive global cues. Sensex also rose 1.21%, nearing record highs.
Inside the announcement
According to Mint and Trading Economics, the Nifty 50 surged as investors returned to buying after three consecutive sessions of losses. Reliance Power, GMDC, MCX, Paytm, JSW Steel, CDSL, and Tata Power were among the top gainers. The rally was broad-based, with mid- and small-cap stocks outperforming, signaling renewed investor confidence.
Analysts noted that the weaker US dollar boosted sentiment in commodity-linked sectors, particularly metals, while strong global equity performance added momentum. The rally positions the benchmark indices close to record levels, with traders eyeing further gains if global conditions remain supportive.
