The Nifty closed at 25,030.35 and the Sensex finished at 81,028 on Friday, with both benchmarks surging nearly 9% over the week. Domestic demand-oriented segments paced the advance, led by consumer durables rising almost 11% while realty and financial services each gained 10%. Foreign portfolio investors injected a net ₹22,693 crore into equities, successfully countering ₹18,227 crore in net outflows from cash-raising domestic institutional investors. Sustaining these market highs will depend on Brent crude staying under $90–$95 a barrel and regional geopolitical tensions remaining subdued.
