Why Russian fighter jets keep mechanical clocks compared to US jets
Homes First Finance's stock surged 11.4 per cent to an intraday high of Rs 963. Aavas Financiers also had a huge increase, rising 9.2 per cent to a new 52-week high of Rs 1,894. Other housing finance equities, such as PNB Housing, NBCC, GIC Housing Finance, and HUDCO, gained between 7.1 per cent and 8.5 per cent.
Sectoral and market analysis
While the overall market sentiment was mixed, housing finance stocks performed very well. In comparison, the benchmark index Nifty 50 returned 6 per cent in the last five days. This increase in housing finance stocks is ascribed to the government's commitment to increasing housing infrastructure, which is likely to have a favourable long-term influence on the industry.
