NEW DELHI: A fresh wave of short covering at the expiry of weekly contracts helped Indian equity market close with strong gains on Thursday.

The sentiment turned positive after the US Fed signalled rate cuts in the near future, which was seen as a positive sign for emerging markets such as India.

“The Fed is a factor that infused positivity. Besides short covering launched the market into the higher orbit," said Rusmik Oza, Head of Fundamental Research at Kotak Securities.

However, the undercurrent of the market remains fragile amid concerns over the NBFC sector and high valuations. "The market is at its peak as far as valuation is concerned. It is a sell on rise market as the pain and pressure remain in the NBFC sector," Oza said.

Sensex leaped 489 points, or 1.25 per cent, to close at 39,601, with only four stocks – HUL (down 0.26 per cent), HDFC Bank (0.16 per cent), ITC (0.07 per cent) and NTPC (0.04 per cent) – ending in the red.

Here is a lowdown on the key highlights of Thursday's session:

After falling for 13 consecutive days, shares of Jet Airways rallied some 93.35 per cent to close at Rs 64. "Short covering in weekly derivatives pushed the stock higher. It might see higher levels from here on,” said Sameer Kalra, Founder, Target Investing.

Yes Bank surges 11%

Suzlon breaks 6-day losing run
