Sensex soars 188 points to 81,093, Nifty rises 38 points to 24,809 in early trade

The stock markets began Thursday on a strong note, with both the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex indices opening higher. Nifty 50 gained 93.20 points (0.38%) to reach 24,863.40, while Sensex rose by 301.94 points (0.37%) to 81,207.24. Market experts anticipate a new all-time high next week, driven by expectations of a US Federal Reserve rate cut in September. Softening crude oil prices and reducing geopolitical tensions are also seen as positive factors.
