Stock Market Today: Investors were enthused by a pullback rally in the markets after a phase of long correction. The benchmark Nifty-50 index ended the day with gains of 0.65% at 24,339.15, while the Sensex gained 0.76% to end at 80,005.04. The Nifty Bank Index rebounded 0.93%, while all other sectors closed in green. Metals, PSU Banks, and Pharma were other key gainers.
Technically, after an early morning intraday correction, Nifty and Sensex took support near 24100 and 79400, respectively, before reversing and holding positive momentum throughout the day, which is largely positive, said Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research, Kotak Securities. For the traders now, 24200-24100 (Nifty) and 79600-79400 (Sensex) would act as key support zones.
Bank Nifty opened the gap up and witnessed positive price action during the day. We expect the Bank Nifty to consolidate within 52800 – 50500 from a short-term perspective, said Jatin Gedia, Technical Research Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas
Markets started the last week of the month on a positive note ahead of the Diwali festival and further supported by a fall in crude oil prices by more than $3/barrel after Israel's retaliatory strike on Iran over the weekend bypassed the Iranian oil and nuclear facilities and did not disrupt energy supplies. Despite this, we expect the truncated week to remain sideways amid a mixed Q2 season, monthly FNO expiry and continued selling by FIIs, said Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services. Key results to watch out on Tuesday will be Maruti Suzuki, Adani Enterprise, Adani Ports, and Cipla amongst others.
