Indian equities closed higher on Wednesday, with Nifty 50 adding 91 points or 0.36%) to settle at 25,330 and Sensex advancing more than 300 points to end above 82,600. Market sentiment was buoyed by optimism around progress in India–US trade discussions and rising expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut, which supported risk appetite globally.

Gains were led by IT, Banking, and Auto stocks, while defensives such as FMCG and Pharma lagged. Market breadth remained constructive, with more stocks advancing than declining, reflecting a reasonably broad-based rally across sectors.

The Indian markets ended the session on a positive note, with Nifty 50 closing at 25,330.25, a gain of 0.36%, or 91.15 points. Additionally, Sensex mirrored this upbeat sentiment, advancing 255 points to settle at 83,500. The session was marked by a broad-based rally, as reflected by a healthy advance-decline ratio favoring advances, with more than 1,300 stocks advancing against 700 declining on the NSE. Sectoral performance was mixed but largely positive. Key outperformers were Nifty Realty and Auto, which saw significant gains. Banking and Financial Services also contributed to the upward move. On the other hand, the FMCG and Pharma sectors witnessed some profit booking and ended the day in the red.
