Indian Markets Rebound
Indian markets extended their rebound on Friday, gaining over 0.5% due to favorable global cues. Analysts say the Nifty has crossed a significant hurdle near 25,950, which is a critical level for the market's recovery. Holding above this level will be important for the market to move towards its record high again.

He recommends preferring stocks in the banking, auto, metal, and pharma sectors, while also exploring opportunities in other areas.
