Markets Hit Fresh Records After 14-Month Pause
The benchmarks made a strong comeback on November 27, with Nifty and Sensex closing at new highs after a 14-month wait. The rise reflects a mix of healthier corporate profits and growing optimism about the rest of the financial year.
What Powered the Rally
Improved Q2 corporate earnings were the main driver. Companies across several sectors reported better-than-expected results, which helped restore investor confidence. The market reaction was also boosted by hopes that earnings momentum will continue into Q3 and Q4.
- Better-than-expected quarterly results lifted sentiment.
- Expectations of sustained earnings growth supported buying interest.
- Broader participation from institutional and retail investors helped the move higher.

The Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments noted that the recent rally, combined with improved Q2 performance and forecasts for further growth, has brightened the outlook for markets. This mix of fundamentals and sentiment is encouraging for investors looking beyond short-term noise.
What Investors Should Watch Next
- Earnings updates for the coming quarters — confirmation of sustained growth will be key.
- Global cues and macro data that can influence liquidity and risk appetite.
- Sector-level performance to spot leading themes rather than just headline indices.
Overall, the market’s fresh highs on November 27 signal renewed confidence, but continued gains will depend on consistent corporate results and supportive macro conditions in the months ahead.
