The stock market ended higher on Friday, driven by gains. The domestic market witnessed low volatility in the absence of fresh triggers and traded on a positive note throughout the session.
Experts believe the trend was predominantly supported by the Santa Claus rally in anticipation of early rate cuts by the US Fed and cooling global inflation.
Domestic markets are ending the year 2023 on a buoyant note as Nifty scales above 21,500 mark while Sensex crosses 71,000.
In spite of favourable factors, there will be dips in the market triggered by profit booking at higher levels, says V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.
Dips will be bought by FIIs who have emerged as sustained buyers. The continuous decline in US bond yields (the 10-year yield is now below 4.20 per cent) will ensure FII buying, he said.
This positive market momentum reflected an overall sense of optimism and confidence in the financial markets.
