‘The magic in new beginnings is truly the most powerful of them all’
Now, let’s get started…

So, what happened to Sensex yesterday?
The stock market had a fantastic start to the year on January 2, with the Sensex jumping 1,436 points (1.83%) to close at 79,943.71, marking its best single-day gain in over a month. The Nifty also surged 445 points (1.88%) to end at 24,188.65. So, what caused this impressive rally? Let’s break it down:
1. Strong GST Collection
December saw GST revenues rise by 7.3% year-on-year to ₹1.77 lakh crore. This indicates a healthy economy and strong consumer demand. Analysts pointed out that despite higher refunds in domestic and export sectors, the numbers show steady growth. The strong GST collection lifted investor confidence, signaling that India’s economic momentum remains robust.
2. Technical Market Trends
The Nifty moved closer to its 100-day exponential moving average (EMA), which is a key level for traders. According to market experts, if Nifty crosses the 24,250 mark decisively, it could pave the way for further gains to 24,400. On the flip side, if it drops below 24,000, the market could enter a sideways phase. This technical optimism helped boost buying activity.
3. Optimism Around Earnings
Investors are feeling good about the upcoming Q3 earnings reports. Key sectors like automotive and financials have shown strong business updates, with companies like Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra & Mahindra reporting positive trends. Additionally, luxury consumption sectors like jewellery, aviation, and hospitality are expected to perform well, further fueling market enthusiasm.
4. IT Sector Leads the Rally
The IT sector played a big role in driving the market upwards. The IT index gained over 1% as analysts forecast improved revenue growth for the December quarter. Stable global demand, particularly in the US, and the recent depreciation of the rupee are expected to boost earnings in the IT sector.
The Bigger Picture
A few other indicators added to the market cheer. The HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for December remained strong at 56.4, indicating continued growth in manufacturing activity. While slightly lower than November’s figure of 56.5, it still showed expansion (any reading above 50 indicates growth).
