Equities in India climbed 152 points to 81,459 in morning trade on Monday, erasing losses from the previous session. The rally tracked gains in Asian markets, following an upbeat session on Wall Street Friday after Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled the possibility of a September rate cut during his Jackson Hole speech. Positive domestic economic data also boosted sentiment, with a Reuters poll forecasting robust GDP growth of 6.7% in Q2, despite easing from 7.4% in Q1, amid new US tariffs. However, traders are also awaiting the release of the U.S. PCE Price Index and Q2 GDP data later this week. Most sectors traded in the green, with the technology sector surging 2.1%. Meanwhile, the Nifty 50 rose 0.1% to above 24,900. Small-cap and mid-cap indices also recorded gains, rising 0.4% and 0.3%, respectively. Among the top performers were Infosys (+2.4%), Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (+1.4%), HCL Technologies (+2.1%), and Tech Mahindra (+1.9%).
