Its effect can be seen in the week starting from 22nd September. Earlier on Friday, 19th September, the stock market closed with a decline.

During this period, about 1992 shares saw an increase and 1961 shares saw a decline. Whereas, there was no change in 163 shares.

GST reforms will increase purchasing in these sectors
According to an ET report, Vinod Nair, Research Head at Geojit Investments, said that after a steady rise over the past several sessions, the Indian stock market witnessed profit-booking on Friday. However, ongoing US-India trade deal negotiations will continue to support investors. The GST reforms are also set to come into effect next week, which will shift investor attention towards the consumption sector. Buying interest in the auto and real estate sectors will increase.
Meanwhile, Ajit Mishra, Senior Vice President (Research) at Religare Broking, said that the performance of bank stocks, especially private bank stocks, will be closely watched in the Nifty. Banks will play a key role in taking the Nifty above 25,500. He said, "The rally in stocks like Reliance Industries, TCS, Infosys, and others will help maintain the positive sentiment amid the Nifty's strong performance. Investors are advised to focus on select stocks and also keep an eye on sectors that are showing strength."
