In today's market, the Sensex experienced a notable recovery after an initial drop, currently trading at 81,023.53, reflecting a slight decline. This fluctuation highlights the ongoing volatility in the financial landscape, with the index remaining above its 50-day moving average, which is also positioned above the 200-day moving average, indicating a potential long-term bullish trend.
Among the large-cap stocks, Max Healthcare emerged as a standout performer, showing resilience with a gain of 2.33%. Conversely, Interglobe Aviation faced challenges, marking a significant decline.
