EQUITY
Post Session: Quick Review
Jul-10-2026

Indian equity benchmarks ended near the day's high points on Friday, with the Nifty and Sensex closing over 1% higher, supported by broad-based buying across sectors. Indices made a positive start and remained firmly in the green throughout the session, led by a rally in IT stocks after TCS reported a rise in its June-quarter net profit. Sentiments were further boosted by expectations that the escalation of hostilities between the U.S. and Iran would remain limited.

Some of the important factors in trade:

India Inc revenues set to grow at two-year high in Q1 despite West Asia tensions: Some support came as Crisil Intelligence said that India Inc's revenues are expected to grow at a two-year high of up to 11.5% in the June quarter of FY27, despite the prevailing tensions in West Asia, which have had a wide-ranging impact, starting with supply chain disruptions and stoking domestic inflation.

Sustained high growth, reforms essential to make India ‘developed economy’ by 2047: Sentiments remained upbeat as the International Monetary Fund said that sustained high growth and continuity in reforms will put India on the path to emerge as a developed economy by 2047.

India, Afghanistan review entire spectrum of bilateral ties in key meet in Delhi: India, Afghanistan review bilateral ties, reaffirm cooperation across key sectors: Traders took support with India and Afghanistan have reviewed the entire spectrum of bilateral relations during the fourth round of India-Afghanistan Joint Committee Meeting held in New Delhi.   

On the global front: European markets were trading mostly higher, amid optimism surrounding AI-driven technology stocks offset concerns over ongoing geopolitical tensions. Asian markets closed mostly in green even after the Asian Development Bank downgraded its growth outlook for developing Asia.
