Indian indices gain as global optimism lifts early session sentiment

Indian equity markets began Thursday’s trade on a positive note, with the NSE Nifty 50 crossing 25,600 and the Sensex climbing over 330 points amid upbeat global cues. Investors displayed cautious optimism ahead of Q2 corporate earnings and major policy decisions. The Bank Nifty hovered near 57,500, supported by strong buying in financial and private banking stocks. Broader markets mirrored the sentiment with midcaps advancing steadily. Analysts expect consolidation to continue through the week as global markets digest central bank commentary and key US macroeconomic updates.
