The BSE Sensex advanced 444 points, or 0.58%, to end the session in positive territory.

The rally was underpinned by a combination of easing crude oil prices and mixed signals from global markets, which helped bolster investor sentiment in domestic equities.

Market participants focused on technical levels as the Nifty reclaimed and sustained positions above critical resistance zones.

This move followed a holiday-shortened week that also ended in positive territory, suggesting a continuation of the recent upward trend.

The stability in energy costs provided a tailwind for broader market participation, allowing investors to rotate into equities with reduced inflationary concerns.
