Talking about this historic high achieved by Nifty, Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi said it is for the first time that retail investors made money in a bull run. "There was good participation from retail investors directly or indirectly in the last one year, "said the Market Guru.

The rally in the indices was backed by largely all major sectors, including auto, IT and financial stocks, FMCG, PSUs, while the actual push came from the metal sector. Zee Business has time and again talked about the importance of this sector in leading the indices. The banking sector, however, did not contribute much in this rally as Bank Nifty is still far from its lifetime high.  

Talking of participation from specific shares in Nifty 50, the maximum push came from HDFC Limited.

"Besides, Tata Consultancy (TCS) is also seeing good investors' interest after a long consolidation. There is positive momentum in HUL, while ITC is also looking good at the moment. These giants were primarily behind taking Nifty to a record high. Also, some banks like IndusInd Bank, Axis Bank, and Kotak Bank are also seeing good momentum. Nifty giant Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), however, is not supporting the market much currently, but we may soon see good action in this share too," said Deepanshu Bhandari, Anchor & Head-Research at Zee Business.
