The Indian stock market ended with solid gains on Friday, December 19, snapping its four-day losing streak, as a stable rupee, positive global cues and an in-line Bank of Japan’s policy decision boosted market sentiment. The Sensex jumped 448 points, or 0.53%, to close at 84,929.36, while the Nifty 50 settled at 25,966.40, up 151 points, or 0.58%. The mid and small-cap segment clocked stronger gains; the BSE Midcap index jumped 1.26% while the Smallcap index rose by 1.25%.
The overall market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms jumped to over ₹471 lakh crore from ₹465.8 lakh crore in the previous session, making investors richer by over ₹5 lakh crore in a day.
