GIFT Nifty indicated that Indian equity indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 may see a lacklustre opening on Friday. Here’s a look at the key stocks to watch in trade.
Stocks in Focus: GIFT Nifty traded down by just 12.50 points or 0.06% at 21,766.50 indicating negative opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex on Friday. Previously, on Thursday, the NSE Nifty 50 gainned 141.25 points or 0.66% to settle at 21,658.60, while the BSE Sensex ended higher by 490.97 points or 0.69% to 71,847.57.
“The Nifty’s swift recovery following two bearish days indicates continued dominance by the bulls in the market. The present sentiment suggests a promising trajectory towards 21800-21850 for the Nifty. If it surpasses 21850, we might anticipate a further climb toward 22000. Notably, the index appears to have a short-term support level around 21500. A downward shift would likely initiate only if it falls below this mark; until then, it seems favorable for buyers to take advantage of market dips,” said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
