\u201cIndian benchmark indices closed higher, extending their winning streak to a ninth consecutive regular trading session, excluding the Muhurat trading session, which ended marginally lower. Despite surrendering a portion of their opening gap-up gains, the indices managed to sustain their positive momentum. WTI crude prices remained subdued in the $86\u201387 per barrel range, offering continued support to domestic market sentiment. The Indian rupee also held firm, drawing support from softer crude prices and improving external-sector conditions,\u201d Ponmudi. R, CEO of Enrich Money, an online trading and wealth tech firm, said.<\/p>\n
The broader market uptrend remains underpinned by a favourable mix of sustained FII inflows, lower crude oil prices, a resilient rupee and encouraging corporate earnings, he said.<\/p>\n
Together, these factors have strengthened investor confidence and provided further impetus to the ongoing rally, Ponmudi added.<\/p>\n
