On April 17, Indian stock markets showed resilience, with the Nifty 50 index rising 0.64% to close at 24,350 and the S&P BSE Sensex gaining 0.63% to finish at 78,477. This upward trend was fueled by strong performances in consumer goods and oil & gas sectors, as well as easing tensions in the Middle East, which improved investor sentiment. The Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 indices outperformed the benchmarks, rising 3.53% and 4.36%, respectively.

Among the top gainers, NAVA led the pack with an impressive 11% increase to ₹694 per share, followed closely by Angel One, whose stock surged 10.3% to ₹322.8 after positive quarterly results. Other notable gainers included Triveni Turbine, Emami, and Suzlon Energy, which extended their rally with gains between 5% and 8.6%.

Conversely, Gallantt Ispat emerged as the biggest loser, falling 8% to ₹853.5, followed by declines in Wipro, which dropped 2.8% to ₹204 after reporting quarterly results that missed expectations. Overall, the market's positive momentum suggests a continued recovery, bolstered by favorable economic indicators and investor confidence.
