📈 Markets Extend Winning Streak:
Indian equities traded higher on Friday, with the Nifty 50 marking its eighth consecutive session of gains. The rally mirrored global markets, buoyed by softer U.S. jobs data, which helped counter a hotter-than-expected inflation reading — boosting hopes of a potential Federal Reserve rate cut.

🌎 Global Cues + Trade Optimism:
Sentiment was further supported by optimism around a potential revival in India–U.S. trade ties, lifting overall market confidence.

📊 Sectoral Snapshot:

• ✅ Gainers: Metals, IT, and Realty stocks led the rally, signaling broad-based buying across sectors.
• ⚠️ Under Pressure: Banking and FMCG stocks saw mild declines, as investors turned slightly cautious in these segments.
