Sensex Extends Six-Day Rally Led by IT Gains

The BSE Sensex rose 130 points to close at 84,556, marking its sixth straight session of gains. IT heavyweights Infosys (+2.8%), TCS (+2.3%), and HCL Tech (+1.9%) lifted the index amid optimism surrounding an India–US trade deal. Energy and FMCG sectors remained steady while small- and mid-cap segments saw mild profit booking. Analysts expect the uptrend to continue toward the 85,000 mark if foreign institutional inflows persist alongside stable rupee and improving global risk sentiment.
