The Nifty MidCap index gained 2.24 per cent, while the Nifty SmallCap index surged 3.24 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the sectoral front, the Nifty PSU Bank index emerged as the top performer, reflecting strong gains in public sector banking stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nifty Chemical and Nifty Media indices also saw notable buying interest during the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, not all sectors ended in the green. The Nifty Healthcare and Nifty Pharma indices bucked the overall trend and closed lower, limiting some of the market\u2019s overall gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Analysts said that the market managed to end higher despite late-session volatility, supported by broad-based buying across sectors, especially in mid- and small-cap stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Markets now shift focus to key US data including Non-Farm Payrolls, ADP employment, and unemployment rate, which could drive sharp volatility,&#8221; an analyst stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mumbai, Indian stock markets ended Wednesday\u2019s session on a strong note, although they gave up a large part of their early gains as optimism around easing tensions between the US [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2071,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-display","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2070"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2070\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2072,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2070\/revisions\/2072"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
