Gains in sectors such as auto, oil and gas, and financial services played a key role in driving the market upward. Out of the Nifty 50 companies, 34 stocks advanced, while 16 experienced declines. Bajaj Auto, Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), ONGC, Hero Motocorp, and SBI Life were among the top performers, contributing to the rally.
The market's upward momentum was primarily fueled by anticipation surrounding the upcoming Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), scheduled for October 7 to 9, where a decision on the repo rate is expected. With potential rate cuts on the horizon, India VIX, the volatility index, spiked by over 9%, indicating some caution among investors.
VLA Ambala, Co-Founder of Stock Market Today, commented on the session's performance, pointing to broader economic factors at play.
