Stock Market News: The domestic benchmark indices, the Sensex, and the Nifty 50, fell off their opening-day record highs on Friday as gains in Infosys were overshadowed by widespread profit booking, despite the company exceeding quarterly profits projections and raising its full-year revenue prediction.
As of 9:51 IST, the Sensex fell 0.21% to 81,174.93 points, while the Nifty 50 was down 0.35% to 24,714.15.
A notable current trend in the market, according to Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, is the underperformance of the overpriced overall market and the outperformance of the reasonably valued largecap area. This bodes well for the rise to continue without the market overheating. The overpriced PSU sectors, such as railways and defense, may continue to go downward.
The benchmark index is in a strong uptrend forming a series of higher tops and bottoms indicating bullish sentiments. The index has also registered an all-time high at the 24,837 level which reconfirms a bullish trend. We expect this momentum to extend towards 25,000-25,500 levels in upcoming weeks. On the flip side, the significant support is placed around 24,500-24,200 levels, said Rajesh Palviya, SVP, Technical and Derivatives Research, Axis Securities.
