Delhi, 24 November (H.S.): The Indian stock market began the week on a positive note, with both major indices opening in the green on Monday. Strong buying interest in IT and banking shares bolstered market sentiment, driving the indices to early gains.
As of the latest report, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Sensex was trading at 85,318.08, up by 86.16 points or 0.10%. Concurrently, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) Nifty 50 advanced by 28.00 points, or 0.11%, to trade at 26,096.15 .
In contrast to the gains in the technology and financial sectors, energy and auto stocks experienced a downturn. Shares in the automotive sector were under pressure and opened lower, indicating a clear sectoral divide in early trading.
This positive start follows a weak closing on the previous trading day. On Friday, the stock market ended in the red, with the BSE Sensex falling by 400.76 points (0.47%) to close at 85,231.92 . Similarly, the NSE Nifty had dropped by 124.00 points (0.47%) to settle at 26,068.15 .
