Indian equities carried on the winning steak for the second consecutive session on Thursday (January 2), with the Sensex closing 1,436 points higher at 79,944 and the Nifty by 446 points to 24,189.

The stock market on Wednesday ended trading on a higher note in the first trading session of 2025.

The domestic equity market ended the last trading session of 2024 on a rather sombre note, weighed down by IT stocks. 

Share market fell sharply in late afternoon trade on Monday, with BSE Sensex closing about 850 points down from the day’s high and NSE Nifty ending below the 23,650 mark, as foreign institutional investor (FII) outflows, global cues, and a weakening rupee weighed on investor sentiment.

The market witnessed a tight contest between bulls and bears on Thursday, December 26, with neither side managing to gain the upper hand.
