The financial markets have achieved a historic milestone as the Sensex, the country's benchmark index, crossed the 69,000-point mark for the first time. This significant surge comes as the markets continue their upward trajectory, recording fresh record highs for the second consecutive session. The positive momentum is attributed to robust macroeconomic data, anticipation of a U.S. rate cut in March, and the recent electoral success of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in crucial state elections, including Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh. Investors are closely monitoring the evolving economic landscape and political developments shaping market dynamics.
