The Blue-chip Nifty 50 and Sensex indexes reached record highs, driven by gains in Adani group stocks and financials. Positive global cues, foreign buying, and stable macros also contributed to the rally. The Nifty climbed 1.03% to a record high of 19,011, while the Sensex closed 0.79% higher at 63,915. The markets were closed on Thursday for Bakri Eid. Analysts expect the Nifty to maintain levels around 18,870 and overcome the 19,000 mark for further short covering.
