The Sensex surged past the 84,000 mark on Friday, hitting a nine-month high, driven by renewed buying interest from foreign institutional investors (FIIs). Strong inflows, particularly into large-cap stocks, and easing global concerns about interest rates contributed to the rally. The upbeat sentiment was further supported by positive macroeconomic indicators and expectations of sustained earnings growth. Market experts attribute the momentum to improved global risk appetite and optimism around India’s growth outlook, which has made domestic equities more attractive to overseas investors.
