How did the stock market perform during the previous session?

The stock market soared towards the close on Tuesday, led by oil & gas, financial services, and PSU banks.

In sharp contrast, Oil & Gas had fallen the most at the time of Monday's close. The market as a whole fell that time due to US President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China stoking fears of a tariff war among investors.

The benchmark BSE Sensex closed in the green by 1,397.07 points or 1.81%, reaching 78,583.81. The broader NSE Nifty closed 378.20 points or 1.62% in the green, reaching 23,739.25.

“The Nifty jumped 1.6% yesterday rising to its highest level in nearly a month,” said Akshay Chinchalkar, Head of Research at Axis Securities. “Technically speaking, the index now sits at the falling trendline drawn from the record high and passing through the mid-December peak.”

“Yesterday's low did not overlap the Monday high and therefore, created a bullish rising window, making 23381 a key pivot that bulls will have to protect,” he added. “Against this level, expect a test of the 23918 - 24060 area anytime within the next one week. That said, a close below 23381 will weaken this near-term bull case.”

Among the 30 Sensex stocks, Larsen & Toubro Ltd rose the most by 4.76%, closing at 3,443.60. This was followed by Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd, which rose 3.83%, closing at 1,126.25, and IndusInd Bank Ltd, which rose 3.50%, closing at 1,048.10.

Contrastingly, Larsen & Toubro fell the most during Monday's close by 4.64%.

Only 4 out of the 30 Sensex stocks were in the red.

This included Zomato Ltd, which fell 1.57%, closing at 234.50, Nestle India Ltd, which fell 0.71%, closing at 2,300.35, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, which fell 0.20%, closing at 13,109.75, and Hindustan Unilever Ltd, which fell 0.06%, reaching 2,439.90.

Hindustan Unilever Ltd also was among the Senmsex stocks which fell the most on Monday's close. It fell 2.62%, reaching 2,441.40.

In terms of sectors, the Nifty Oil & Gas Index rose the most by 2.70, closing at 10,481.65. This was followed by Nifty PSU Bank which rose 2.41%, closing at 6,264.95, and Nifty Financial Services 25/50 which closed 2.18% up or at 25,351.35.

In contrast, the Oil & Gas Index fell the most on Monday's close by 2.22%, reaching 10,206.25,.
