In the special one-hour Diwali ‘Muhurat’ trading session, India’s benchmark indices climbed to their highest levels in over a year. The Nifty 50 rose 0.10% to 25,868.6 and the BSE Sensex gained 0.07% to 84,426.34, driven by strong corporate earnings, returning foreign inflows and easing global trade tensions. Broader markets also showed strength with mid and small-cap segments rising. Analysts flagged that with Nifty nearing 26,000, consolidation or profit-taking cannot be ruled out in the near term.
