Top Gainers and Losers

Among the top gainers, Indian Cement stood out. Its strong performance contributed to the positive sentiment in the market. Other notable gainers included companies in the FMCG and IT sectors.

On the flip side, some stocks in the Pharma and Private Banking sectors faced losses. The decline in these sectors influenced the overall market performance.

Investors showed confidence in the FMCG and IT sectors, driving their indices higher. However, concerns in the Pharma and Banking sectors led to a decline in those indices.

Analysts suggest that the positive performance in mid and small-cap stocks indicates investor interest in diversified portfolios. The gains in these indices show confidence in the growth potential of smaller companies.
