GIFT Nifty indicated that Indian equity indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 may see a positive opening on Monday. Here’s a look at the key stocks to watch in trade.
Stocks in Focus: GIFT Nifty traded up by 26 points or 0.10% at 24,773.50 indicating a positive opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex on Monday. Previously, on Friday, the NSE Nifty 50 ended down by 32.40 points or 0.13% to settle at 25,356.50 while the BSE Sensex fell 71.77 points or 0.09% to 82,890.94.
“The markets saw lackluster trading on Friday, ending slightly lower as they took a breather following a strong surge. After a flat opening, the Nifty fluctuated within a narrow range throughout the session and ultimately closed at 25,344. Sectoral performance was mixed, with realty and metals showing solid gains, while FMCG and energy declined. Meanwhile, the broader indices outperformed the benchmark, each rising by over half a percent,” said Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking.
Mishra also added that the swift recovery in US markets, along with the recent uptick in foreign inflows, is driving this upward movement. We remain bullish and recommend using any interim dips to accumulate high-quality large-cap and large mid-cap stocks.
