Among individual stocks, shares of Apollo Hospitals, FSN E-Commerce Ventures (Nykaa), AstraZeneca Pharma India, IVRCL, SML Isuzu, Swan Energy, and many others will be in focus as they are set to release their quarterly earnings today.
On Thursday, the Indian share market closed higher despite choppy trade, as sentiment was boosted after a U.S. court struck down President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tax policy. The 30-share Sensex closed 320.70 points, or 0.39%, higher at 81,633, and the Nifty50 rose 81.15 points, or 0.33%, to settle at 24,834. On the sectoral front, metal and realty indices emerged as top gainers, rising over 1% each, followed by IT, pharma, bank, and energy. On the other hand, FMCG and PSU banks were among the top laggards.
On the global front, Wall Street finished higher with modest gains as investors digested a U.S. court ruling that temporarily struck down President Trump’s reciprocal tax policy. The rally in NVIDIA shares after the chipmaker released its earnings report also boosted sentiment. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 0.28% higher, while the S&P 500 gained 0.40%. In a similar trend, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite closed 0.39% higher.
Meanwhile, the equity markets in the Asia-Pacific region witnessed bearish trade today amid uncertainties about Trump’s “reciprocal” tariff policies as the 90-day pause is set to end soon. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index was the biggest loser in the region, falling as much as 1.6%. This was followed by Japan’s Nikkei 225 index, which declined 1.4%. Among others, China’s Shanghai Composite was down 0.4%, while Singapore’s Straits Times slid 0.2%.
