The market held firm by midday on April 29. The Nifty hovered around 24,277, up about 1.17%, while BSE Sensex stayed near 77,803, higher by roughly 1.19%. The gains were led by autos, select PSU names and midcap counters reacting to earnings. Banking stocks were mixed, not collapsing, not fully participating either.
The movement was uneven but decisive enough. Stocks tied to results moved sharply, and in several cases the reaction was immediate and not subtle.
