Mumbai, July 10: Indian equity markets posted strong gains on Friday, with the BSE Sensex rising more than 700 points and the NSE Nifty surpassing the 24,160 mark.

The sharp upswing was supported by broad-based buying across frontline stocks, with the IT sector emerging as the key contributor to the market's momentum. Investors responded positively to improving earnings expectations and favorable global market trends, boosting demand for large-cap technology shares.
Market sentiment was further strengthened by sustained foreign investment inflows and optimism surrounding the ongoing corporate earnings season. The rally also extended to several other sectors, indicating a healthy participation across the broader market.
Analysts expect market participants to remain focused on upcoming corporate earnings, macroeconomic indicators, and global developments, which are likely to influence trading activity in the sessions ahead.
The strong performance underscores continued resilience in India's equity markets and reflects growing investor confidence in the country's economic outlook.
