India's BSE Sensex closed about 0.4% up at 84,058.9 on Friday, setting a new high since October 2024 and extending its winning streak to four sessions. Market sentiment was supported by optimism around an imminent trade deal with the US, easing geopolitical tensions and fresh foreign institutional investor (FII) inflows. President Donald Trump has hinted at a “very big” trade agreement with India following the United States' new deal with China. Among individual stocks, Asian Paints, UltraTech Cement, Power Grid, ICICI Bank, Reliance Industries, Hindustan Unilever, Bharat Electronics and Sun Pharma were among the major gainers. In contrast, Trent, Eternal, Axis Bank and Titan were among the laggards. For the week, the index posted a 2% gain, the second consecutive weekly increase, largely driven by improving geopolitical sentiment.
