Market wrap: Dr Reddys, JSW Steel, Shriram Finance, Tata Consumer top gainers and losers on Nifty and Sensex on Monday

India’s benchmark equity indices recovered from their intraday lows on Monday and ended the session higher. Gains in Dr Reddy’s and JSW Steel supported the market’s late recovery, although rising volatility continued to keep investors cautious.

Key stocks in focus

Dr Reddy’s and JSW Steel were among the prominent gainers during the session, helping lift sentiment as trading progressed. Shriram Finance and Tata Consumer were also identified among the notable stocks on the Nifty and Sensex market wrap.

The session’s movement reflected a change from the weaker levels seen earlier in the day. Both the Sensex and Nifty managed to close higher after coming under pressure during intraday trading.

Volatility remains a concern

Despite the stronger close, the rise in volatility kept investors measured. The market’s recovery did not remove the cautious tone surrounding trading, with investors continuing to monitor price swings across major stocks and indices.

The Monday session therefore ended with a mixed signal: benchmark indices finished higher, while elevated volatility remained an important feature of the market. Dr Reddy’s and JSW Steel stood out on the positive side as the Sensex and Nifty regained ground from their intraday lows.
