Stock Market Live Updates 23 December 2024: Sensex, Nifty spurt up in opening trade

Share Market Live Updates 23 December 2024: Contrary to expectations, the benchmark indices opend on a firm note on Monday. Sensex gained 523.51 points or 0.67 per cent to trade at 78,565.10 as at 9.16 am, and Nifty 50 rose 175.45 points or 0.74 per cent to 23,762.95.

The beginning of a fresh week was likely to be flattish for domestic equities. However, analysts expect the market to remain lacklustre with muted participation due to year-end holidays.

Stock-specific action is likely due to a truncated trading week (December 25 is a closed holiday due to Christmas) and monthly F&O settlement this week
