Sensex, Nifty surge in early trade tracking rally in global peers

by | Aug 16, 2024

Mumbai: Equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty surged in early trade on Friday following a sharp rally in global markets along with buying in IT stocks and Reliance Industries.

The 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 805.96 points to 79,911.84 in early trade. The NSE Nifty surged 252.05 points to 24,395.80.

All the 30 Sensex firms were trading higher in early trade. Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors, Tech Mahindra, Tata Consultancy Services, HCL Technologies, Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, JSW Steel, Infosys and IndusInd Bank were the biggest gainers.

“Globally stock markets have turned around smartly from the August 5th sell off triggered by US recession fears and the unwinding of the yen carry trade. Latest data on US inflation and unemployment relief do not indicate an economy tipping into recession. On the other hand, the 2.9% annual inflation number and slightly softening labour markets set the stage for a Fed rate cut in September, which the market is pencilling in now,” said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.
