New Delhi, May 29 (HS): The domestic stock market displayed resilience in early trading today, beginning the session with gains. However, profit booking caused a temporary decline in momentum.

Among the key stocks, Trent Limited, JSW Steel, Tata Motors, Infosys, and Eternal saw gains between 1.58 percent and 0.89 percent. Conversely, Tata Consumer Products, Jio Financial, Bajaj Finance, Apollo Hospital, and Shriram Finance experienced declines from 1.15 percent to 0.72 percent.

The BSE's Sensex opened with a gain of 278.71 points at 81,591.03 points, quickly reaching 81,816.89 points but later fell to 81,436.89 points due to profit booking.

The NSE's Nifty also initially climbed, starting at 24,825.10 points and reaching 24,889.70 points before dropping to 24,779.70 points, ultimately trading at 24,804.20 points, up by 51.75 points.
