The BSE Sensex index is trading at 81,121 levels, marking an increase of 333 points or 0.41 percent. Simultaneously, the Nifty50 index is at 24,855, up by 81 points or 0.33 percent.
The Nifty IT index is a notable performer, advancing 2 percent, propelled by buying activity in Infosys shares, which are up nearly 3 percent.

In the broader market, the Nifty MidCap index has gained 0.28 percent, while the Nifty SmallCap index has added 0.32 percent. Market analysts suggest that as long as the market sustains trades above 24,400/79,700, the pullback formation is likely to continue. On the upside, the market could potentially bounce back to the 20-day SMA (simple moving average), around 24,700/80,500 or 24750/80700, with a further uptrend possibly taking it to 24,850/81,000.
Today marks the Nifty index's second weekly derivatives expiry following the shift in expiry day to Tuesday from Thursday, which took effect in September 2025.
On the global front, US markets closed higher on Thursday. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers, offloading equities worth Rs 106.34 crore on Thursday, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DII) bought stocks worth Rs 2,233.09 crore, according to exchange data. Brent crude oil prices experienced a slight dip of 0.18 percent, settling at USD 66.87 a barrel.
The positive momentum in the market is supported by expectations of a US rate cut this month, boosting investor sentiment. Auto and metal stocks are also contributing to the gains.
