# Sensex gains 374 points as Nifty ends nearly flat 2026-08-07T01:46:48+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Sensex rose 373.76 points, or 0.48 per cent, to 78,954.76 on Thursday, while the Nifty 50 added 11.35 points, or 0.05 per cent, to close at 24,636. The Hindu BusinessLine reports that the gap between the benchmarks has continued for four sessions since the NSE introduced its Closing Auction Session on August 3. Market observers attributed the divergence to differences in institutional orders and auction-window liquidity, rather than a fundamental split. Defence stocks rose nearly 3 per cent. Jubilant FoodWorks closed at Rs 473.75 after reaching a four-month high of Rs 495.10. The Hindu BusinessLine’s trading plan suggests buying near Rs 473, adding at Rs 460, and keeping an initial stop-loss at Rs 430, with a profit target of Rs 600. ## Coverage - thehindubusinessline.com Tags: Jubilant FoodWorks, Nifty, Sensex, stock market Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/sensex-gains-374-points-as-nifty-ends-nearly-flat-2/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
