Indian stock market: Is it time to book profits amid easing India-Pak tensions?
Indian stock market: Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty50, moved higher on Wednesday, buoyed by strong performances in financial and IT stocks, following lower-than-expected inflation data from both the U.S. and India for April.
Around 10:20 am, the BSE Sensex surged 518 points (0.64%) to 81,666, while the Nifty50 rose 184 points (0.75%) to 24,762.
'The benchmark Nifty saw a pullback in yesterday's trading session after a strong rally in the session before that. Opening with a gap down of 60 points, it witnessed selling pressure throughout the day, closing with a loss of 346 points. Top gainers included Bharat Electronics Ltd., Hero MotoCorp Ltd., and Jio Financial Services Ltd., while top losers were Infosys Ltd., Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd., and Eternal Ltd. On the technical front, Nifty experienced a steep pullback following a strong rally. It has formed a bearish candlestick pattern on the daily chart, indicating the potential for continued bearish momentum in the near term,' said brokerage firm Way2Wealth in a report.
Nifty witnessed profit booking in yesterday's session, falling more than 400 points from intraday highs and closing near the session's low.
'As anticipated, Nifty Midcap and Small Cap indices outperformed the Benchmark Indices. We expect this trend to continue as we approach the end of the earnings season, which has been primarily in line with expectations,' said Devarsh Vakil, Head of Prime Research at HDFC Securities.
According to Sameet Chavan, Head Research, Technical and Derivative - Angel One, the market's tone is bullish despite volatility amid ongoing India-Pakistan tensions.
'This undercurrent kept the market's tone bullish. While choppiness may persist, we maintain a positive bias on the benchmark and stick to our recent view of adopting a 'buy on dips' strategy,' Chavan said.

IT, Auto, Pharma were among the few that bucked the trend. In the broader markets, Mid and small-caps also ended around half a per cent lower. Crucial support for Nifty-50 Index is placed at 24,850. As long as the index holds above this level, the trend is likely to remain positive, with potential to move towards 25,350 in the short term, Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities. For Bank Nifty immediate support is seen at 55,400 as per Bajaj Broking. Profit booking continues in the broader markets, driven by elevated domestic valuations. However, large-cap resilience is supporting the indices, with institutional investors favoring companies with stable earnings outlooks. The Auto and IT sectors remain in focus—Auto stocks are gaining on improved monthly sales, while IT are benefiting from optimism around a potential US-China trade resolution, said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited. Meanwhile, following the recent rally, the market lacks clear direction as investors await key macroeconomic data and updates on trade negotiations, added Nair.
