share market
The beginning of the second half of the year 2026 has been great for stock market investors. The gloom that had been prevailing for the last two days dissipated on Wednesday and shopping spree returned on Dalal Street. Ignoring the growing geopolitical tension between America and Iran and concerns of weak monsoon in the country, the Sensex closed with a jump of 443 points. At the same time, Nifty also crossed the important psychological level of 24,000. Due to this spectacular recovery, Rs 2 lakh crore fell into the pockets of investors in a single day.
Sensex Nifty took off
At the end of the trading session, BSE’s main index Sensex closed at the level of 76,922.64 with a gain of 443.97 points or 0.58 percent. On the other hand, the National Stock Exchange’s Nifty crossed 24,005.85, showing a strength of 140.10 points or 0.59 percent. This mood of the market shows that common investors are still expressing confidence in the story of the domestic economy. Market breadth was also completely positive, where around 2158 stocks ended the trade in the green. On the contrary, selling pressure was seen in 1935 shares, while there was no change in the prices of 165 shares.
2 lakh crores came into the coffers of investors
Common investors have been the biggest beneficiaries of this boom. The total market capitalization (market cap) of all the companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) increased in one fell swoop. It was Rs 474 lakh crore on the last trading day, which jumped to beyond Rs 476 lakh crore on Wednesday. Simply put, investors’ wealth increased by more than Rs 2 lakh crore within just a few hours.
In this storm of profits, the realty sector was at the forefront, whose index jumped by 3 percent. Shares of FMCG, media, auto and government banks were also bought by 1 to 2 percent. Talking about big stocks, Eternal, Adani Enterprises, Nestle India and Asian Paints worked to pull the market up. However, investors in the IT and metal sectors were a little disappointed. Big names like TCS, HCL Tech and Tata Steel closed in the red today.
