<p data-start="599" data-end="918"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Indian stock market opened the week on a bullish note, with the <strong data-start="694" data-end="726">Sensex surging 418.81 points</strong> to close at <strong data-start="739" data-end="752">81,018.72</strong>, reflecting investor confidence in sectors like IT, metals, and construction. The Nifty also saw a strong uptrend, gaining <strong data-start="876" data-end="893">157.40 points</strong> to end at <strong data-start="904" data-end="917">24,722.75</strong>.</span></p>
<p data-start="920" data-end="1162"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Starting with a gap-up at 80,765.83, the Sensex extended gains through the day, reaching an intraday high of 81,093.19. Market sentiment remained upbeat despite global concerns over US tariffs, thanks to robust sectoral performance back home.</span></p>
<p data-start="1164" data-end="1394"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">According to <strong data-start="1177" data-end="1210">Ashika Institutional Equities</strong>, strong buying in <strong data-start="1229" data-end="1281">metals, automobiles, media, IT, and construction</strong> stocks propelled the rally. Meanwhile, <strong data-start="1321" data-end="1371">consumer goods, energy, and financial services</strong> saw minor corrections.</span></p>
<p data-start="1396" data-end="1623"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Notable gainers included <strong data-start="1421" data-end="1522">Tata Steel, Adani Ports, TCS, Tech Mahindra, HCL Tech, Mahindra &amp; Mahindra, Ultratech Cement, L&amp;T</strong>, and <strong data-start="1528" data-end="1537">Titan</strong>. On the downside, <strong data-start="1556" data-end="1581">Power Grid, HDFC Bank</strong>, and <strong data-start="1587" data-end="1601">ICICI Bank</strong> posted modest losses.</span></p>
<p data-start="1625" data-end="1843"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sectorally, <strong data-start="1637" data-end="1649">Nifty IT</strong> jumped by <strong data-start="1660" data-end="1681">553 points (1.6%)</strong>, while <strong data-start="1689" data-end="1703">Nifty Auto</strong> rose <strong data-start="1709" data-end="1731">376 points (1.61%)</strong>. Broader markets followed suit, with <strong data-start="1769" data-end="1800">Nifty Midcap 100 up by 1.4%</strong> and <strong data-start="1805" data-end="1842">Nifty Small Cap 100 gaining 1.27%</strong>.</span></p>
<p data-start="1845" data-end="2019"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">On the global front, weaker-than-expected US employment data has led to speculation of a <strong data-start="1934" data-end="1950">Fed rate cut</strong> in September, adding to the optimism in emerging markets like India.</span></p>
<p data-start="2021" data-end="2290"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><strong data-start="2021" data-end="2036">Ajit Mishra</strong>, SVP of Research at <strong data-start="2057" data-end="2081">Religare Broking Ltd</strong>, noted that although markets have started the week strong, the pattern of mid-week profit booking remains. He advised investors to look for sustainability in trends rather than reacting to single-day rallies.</span></p>
