Nifty Overview & Outlook

The benchmark Nifty index ended lower at 23843 spot levels after a cut of over 200 points from its previous closing values.

Broader markets marginally outperformed the benchmark as Mid and Small cap indices were down just around 0.5% each against nearly 1% decline in the frontline index.

All sectoral indices, tracked at NSE, ended in red. Amongst them, Nifty Auto was the worst performer, down over 2% followed by FMCG, IT and Oil & Gas index that were down over 1% each.

Gift Nifty is indicating a gap-up open for the domestic markets on hopes of further ceasefire talks between the US and Iran. Going ahead, we suggest traders to maintain a cautiously bullish stance with a buy on dips trading approach as long as Nifty is holding above 23500 spot levels on closing basis. Conversely, 24350-24400 spot zone will act as immediate hurdle on the higher side.
