The Indian equity benchmark indices recorded strong gains on Friday, July 10, with the Sensex surging 827.57 points or 1.08% to settle at 77,569.39 and the Nifty advancing 244.10 points or 1.02% to end at 24,206.90. According to ET Now, the rally was driven by gains in IT, financial stocks, and realty sectors, with positive global cues boosting investor sentiment. Easing crude oil prices and buying in IT stocks after TCS reported an increase in its June-quarter net profit and guided towards improvement in demand returning in the ongoing quarter also propelled the domestic market rally. The strong market performance reflects investor confidence in the quarterly results and the overall IT sector's resilience.
