Stock market today: Trade setup for Nifty 50, global markets to Israel-Iran news; eight stocks to buy or sell on Friday
Stock Market Today: The benchmark Nifty-50 index ended 0.08% lower on Thursday at 24,793.25, as consolidation in the market continues. While Bank Nifty at 55,577.45 ended 0.45% lower, most other sectors, led by Metals, Realty, and Oil & Gas, ended lower. In the broader markets, deep cuts of up to 2% were seen by mid- and small-cap indices.
"The Nifty witnessed a lacklustre expiry on the NSE, as the index remained within a narrow range throughout the session, indicating indecisiveness ahead of any directional move. This negative sentiment is likely to persist as long as the index remains below 24,850. On the downside, support is seen at 24,550, as per Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
As per Bajaj Broking, a sustained breakout and close above the 56,000 psychological mark are crucial for further upside for Bank Nifty.
Indian equities exhibited volatility as markets tracked intensified attacks between Iran and Israel, cautious commentary from US Fed, and the looming deadline for levy of US reciprocal tariffs, said Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.
Overall, Khemka expects the market to remain in consolidation mode, following the global market cues and developments on the geopolitical front, while there could be heightened volatility in case of further escalation in the Israel-Iran conflict.
