In today's trading session, the market displayed a positive trend, with the Sensex climbing 378.58 points to reach 80,678.77, reflecting a gain of 0.54%. This upward movement is primarily driven by large-cap stocks, which have shown resilience and strength, leading the market's performance. Notably, the Sensex is currently trading above its 50-day moving average, although this average remains below the 200-day moving average, indicating a mixed technical outlook.
Among the top performers, Adani Ports emerged as a significant gainer in the large-cap category, showcasing a robust increase. Meanwhile, the oil and gas sector led the charge among advancing sectors, while telecommunications faced challenges, marking it as the top declining sector of the day.

As investors look ahead, upcoming earnings reports from major players such as Kotak Mahindra Bank, State Bank of India, and Indian Bank on May 3, 2025, are anticipated to influence market sentiment. The advance-decline ratio across the BSE500 reflects a healthy market breadth, with more stocks advancing than declining, further supporting the positive market sentiment. Overall, the market's current trajectory suggests a cautious optimism among investors as they navigate through sectoral performances and upcoming financial disclosures.
