Sensex today extends gains to 4th straight session, rises over 250 points; Nifty above 25,100; financials shine
Stock market today: Bulls maintained their dominance on Dalal Street during Monday's trade, June 9, lifting the front-line indices by over 0.3%, as RBI's bumper monetary policy measures, coupled with better-than-expected U.S. jobs data and signs of progress in U.S.-India trade talks, brought fresh cheer to markets that had been trading in a narrow range.
There was broad-based buying in today's session, with mid-cap financial stocks leading the rally. Meanwhile, stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data boosted optimism in the IT sector, while expectations grew that RBI's 50 basis point cut in the repo rate could translate into higher sales of entry-level automobiles, which had remained subdued in recent months, causing auto stocks to spike sharply.
Additionally, ongoing progress in trade negotiations between the U.S. and China has supported the rally in metal counters. QSR stocks have also attracted investor interest amid expectations of a surge in demand, as tax cuts and repo rate reductions are expected to boost spending in urban India.
Eventually, the Nifty 50 settled above the 25,000 mark at 25,103 for the second straight session by gaining 0.40%, while the Sensex settled at 82,445, 256 points, or 0.3%, higher than the previous close.
The broader market continued to dominate the front-line indices, with the Nifty Midcap 100 index and the Nifty Smallcap 100 index gaining 1.10% and 1.60%, respectively.

Sensex, Nifty 50 turn flat after rally: Time to book profits?
After five days of gains, the Sensex and Nifty opened higher on Tuesday but quickly lost momentum, turning volatile amid global cues and sectoral churn. As of 9:32 AM: Sensex: Down 160 pts to 82,284 Nifty 50: Down 5 pts to 25,097 Key Trends Nifty Auto, IT, Metal, and Oil & Gas sectors showed gains Bank and Financial Services dipped Midcaps and Smallcaps continued their uptrend Expert Views VK Vijayakumar (Geojit): Nifty to consolidate in the 24,500–25,500 range. Some profit booking is likely, but liquidity may support dips. Akshay Chinchalkar (Axis Securities): Technicals point to a bullish breakout with upside potential to 25,800, as long as Nifty stays above 24,800. Ajit Mishra (Religare): Stay cautious in mid & small caps; focus on quality stocks with a favorable risk-reward ratio. What's Next? The outcome of ongoing US-China trade talks will likely shape short-term market sentiment. While optimism exists, a quick resolution is unlikely. Should You Book Profits? Some profit booking is advised to hedge against volatility, especially after recent highs and stretched valuations. However, the underlying sentiment remains bullish with strong domestic liquidity.

SBI report finds India's household debt rise not a cause for concern
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) sees the increase in household debt as sustainable, especially given two-thirds of the portfolio is made up of prime and above-credit-quality borrowers read more What happened India's household debt has been on the rise over the past three years. However, according to a report by the State Bank of India (SBI), this increase is not a cause for concern. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) sees the increase in household debt as sustainable, especially given two-thirds of the portfolio is made up of prime and above-credit-quality borrowers. Tell me more - SBI reports that two-thirds of household debt in India is of prime and above credit quality, indicating strong repayment capacity. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD - The increase in debt is attributed to a higher number of borrowers, not excessive borrowing by existing borrowers. - Around 25% of household loans are for asset creation (homes, vehicles). - Another 30% are for productive purposes such as agriculture, business, and education. - 45% of loans (personal, credit card, and consumer durable) are used for consumption. - India's household debt stands at 42% of GDP, lower than the 49.1% average among other emerging market economies (EMEs). - The RBI's rate-easing cycle has led to a 100-basis-point cut in the repo rate, reducing interest rates on loans linked to external benchmarks. - Approximately 80% of retail and MSME loan portfolios are now linked to the External Benchmark Lending Rate (EBLR), leading to potential savings of Rs 50,000–60,000 for households. - The rate cut cycle is expected to continue for two years, helping further reduce household borrowing costs. - Last week, the RBI reduced the repo rate by 50 basis points to 5.5% and also cut the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) by 100 basis points in four tranches. The context Household debt is a key indicator of financial stability, and while rising debt can be risky, the structure and quality of India's household borrowing paint a relatively healthy picture.
