Stocks To Watch: Tata Power, Mankind Pharma, Bank of Maharashtra, NTPC, IRCTC, Unichem Labs, SpiceJet – Market News
GIFT Nifty indicated that Indian equity indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 may see a negative opening on Tuesday. Here’s a look at the key stocks to watch in trade.
GIFT Nifty ended 22 points or 0.08% down at 25,984.50 indicating a negative opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex on Tuesday. Previously, on Monday, the NSE Nifty 50 ended down by 368.10 points or 1.41% to settle at 25,810.85 while the BSE Sensex fell 1,272.07 points or 1.49% to 84,299.78.
“The markets began the week on a feeble note, losing nearly one and a half percent due to mixed global cues. After opening with a gap down, Nifty gradually declined, ending the day near its low at the 25,810.85 level. Initially, the drop was limited to a few heavyweight stocks but later spread across the board. Sector-wise, auto, realty, and banking were the biggest losers, while the metal index stood out, hitting a new high and gaining over a percent,” said Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking.
Mishra also added that the Nifty’s three-week upward streak had pushed the index into overbought territory, leading participants to trim their positions amid mixed global signals. The broad-based decline in heavyweight stocks put the bulls on the back foot, potentially paving the way for some consolidation. The next crucial support for Nifty is around the 25,560 level, near the short-term moving average i.e. 20 DEMA. If a rebound occurs, the 26,000-26,250 zone could pose resistance. Traders are advised to adopt a stock-specific strategy and maintain positions on both sides of the market.
