Markets Ended Higher Before The Holiday
Ahead of today’s market holiday, Indian benchmark indices extended their winning streak for a second straight session on June 25.
The Nifty reclaimed the 24,250 mark and climbed to its highest level in more than a month, supported by easing crude oil prices and buying interest in auto, FMCG and realty stocks.
However, gains remained capped as selling pressure persisted in metal, IT and oil and gas shares.
