Stock market today, March 6 -- Indian markets extended their winning run for the second consecutive session on Thursday, March 6, supported by positive global and domestic cues. The prolonged sell-off in domestic equities, which has made India the worst-performing major market since late September, has brought valuations to more reasonable levels, allowing value buyers to step in. 12 out of 13 major sectoral indices ended in green.

The Nifty 50 ended the session 0.93% higher at 22,544 points, while the Sensex closed at 74,340, marking a 0.83% gain from Wednesday's close. The broader market indices also ended in the green, with the Nifty Midcap 100 rising 0.37% to 49,348, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 surged 1.32% to 15,400.
