The S&P BSE Sensex rose 328.72 points, or 0.4%, to finish at 82,500.82, while the NSE Nifty 50 gained 103.55 points, or 0.41%, to close at 25,285.35.
Here’s breaking down of the pre-market actions:
- Tech View: Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, said the Nifty’s breakout from its recent consolidation range kept the market’s tone buoyant. “The trend continues to stay positive as it is sustaining above critical moving averages. The setup looks favorable for a further rise in the short term,” he noted, adding that any dip could offer a good opportunity for long entries. On the upside, De expects the Nifty to move towards 25,500–25,550, while support is seen at 25,150. “A fall below 25,150 could weaken the trend slightly,” he said.
- India VIX: India’s volatility gauge, the VIX, slipped 1.8%, signaling a pickup in investor confidence.

The Indian rupee inched higher on Friday, recovering slightly from its record low after spending most of the week near that level, as steady central bank intervention spurred interbank dollar sales.
