Experts believe benchmark indices may continue rising even if individual investor portfolios remain mixed. Global factors are also favourable as December marks the financial year-end for many foreign markets, and FII selling pressure is expected to ease.

During the week, Sensex gained 0.45% to close at 85,706.67, while Nifty rose 0.52% to 26,202.95. Mid-caps outperformed, but small-caps stayed weak. FIIs sold ₹3,659 crore, while DIIs bought a massive ₹22,763 crore.

Gold and silver prices surged sharply, with 24-carat gold in Jaipur rising to ₹1,31,400 per 10g and silver jumping to ₹1,76,800 per kg.

Analysts advise investors to focus on fundamentally strong companies such as Reliance, SBI, PNB, GMR, Welspun Living, and BEL. In the primary market, three mainboard and 14 SME IPOs are open this week, though investors must evaluate premiums and risks carefully.

The rally strengthened after RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra reaffirmed that there remains scope for policy rate cuts, noting that macroeconomic data continues to support monetary easing. His remarks come days ahead of the MPC meeting beginning December 3. The committee has already cut the repo rate by 100 basis points this year.

Meanwhile, PSU banks expanded their dominance in the home-loan market, capturing 50% of originations by value in September, according to a Crif High Mark report that also pointed to improving asset quality. Private banks, however, are expected to lose market share again in FY26 as their loan growth lags the broader sector.

A strong global market setup also lifted domestic equities, with the Sensex rising 744 points and the Nifty gaining 234 points.
