On Friday, Nifty 50 made a fresh all-time high of 23,490.40. The benchmark index closed 0.29% higher to 23,465.60 in the session. Eicher Motors was the top gainer while Tech Mahindra was the biggest loser.

Vinod Nair, head of research, Geojit Financial Services said, “There is a temporary blip in the market momentum, due to a lack of fresh triggers after the hawkish commentary from the US Fed, lowering the plausibility of a rate cut in the short-term. A near-term consolidation seems probable as domestic investors await cues from the upcoming union budget. There is a growing opinion that the government could place emphasis on welfare, giving a fillip to consumption-led stocks.”

Eicher Motors stood out as the top performer, registering a substantial increase of 2.78%, closing at ₹4935.10, up from its previous session at ₹4801.50. This uplift contributed positively to the market’s overall sentiment.
