The BSE Sensex remained at 81,106.65 on Tuesday, November 10, as India’s equity markets were closed for the Diwali-Balipratipada holiday. The closure applied to the equity, currency and debt markets, with regular trading scheduled to resume on Wednesday, November 11, according to The Hindu BusinessLine.
No regular session on Tuesday
Because the Bombay Stock Exchange was closed, there was no new intraday level or session move for the 30-share benchmark on November 10. The latest completed regular session was Monday, November 9, when the Sensex gained 107.25 points, or 0.13 percent, to finish at 81,106.65.
The previous session followed a special Diwali Muhurat session on Sunday, November 8, when the index ended at 80,999.40 after a decline of 28.62 points. The Monday gain therefore reflected the Sensex’s performance against that immediately preceding completed session.
Banks support the latest close
According to The Week, citing PTI, buying in blue-chip banking and financial stocks helped the market finish higher, while easing crude prices supported sentiment. State Bank of India, Trent, Larsen & Toubro, NTPC, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank were among the notable gainers. HCL Technologies, Tata Steel, UltraTech Cement and Bajaj Finance were among the laggards.
The Sensex’s modest advance came after a strong rally in the preceding week. Investors will now have to assess whether that momentum can be sustained when trading resumes, with global market signals, crude prices, foreign flows and domestic inflation data likely to remain important factors. This is market context rather than a trading recommendation.
Next trading session
Normal equity trading is expected to restart on Wednesday, November 11. Further Sensex coverage is available on the BSE Sensex topic page.
