New Delhi, Oct 10 (NationPress) Indian stock exchanges started the day with a stable opening, but quickly ascended on Friday, fueled by favorable global trends. The reduction of geopolitical uncertainties in the Middle East and indications of a potential trade agreement between the US and India enhanced investor optimism.
Post the opening bell, the Sensex climbed 148 points, equivalent to 0.18 percent, reaching 82,320 points. Similarly, the Nifty gained 40 points, or 0.16 percent, moving to 25,221 points.
Market analysts noted, 'Although yesterday's upward movement in the latter part of the day did not surpass the week’s peak, it helped negate the bearish sentiment suggested by the evening star candlestick pattern.'
'This motivates us to target 25460 in the upcoming days. However, if we are unable to sustain above 25215 or see a direct drop below 25113, it may lead to a sideways trend, but a break at 24982 is not anticipated immediately,' they elaborated.
In the wider market context, the Nifty Midcap 100 index increased by 0.18 percent, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 rose by 0.28 percent, reflecting robust engagement from mid- and small-cap stocks.
Among various sectors, Nifty Metal was the poorest performer, declining by 1.4 percent, followed by drops in Auto, Pharma, and Healthcare sectors.
Conversely, sectors like Banking, Energy, FMCG, IT, Consumer Durables, Oil & Gas, and Realty were performing well.
Within the Sensex, notable gainers included Power Grid, State Bank of India, NTPC, Adani Ports, and Asian Paints.
Meanwhile, Tata Steel, TCS, Bajaj Finance, M&M, and HCL Tech were trading lower.
'The overall market landscape is becoming more optimistic. On a global scale, the GAZA peace agreement signifies a conclusion to the conflict and a decrease in geopolitical risks from that region,' analysts stated.
'On the domestic front, there are signs of a trade agreement between the US and India, with India 'rebalancing' its oil imports,' they added.
Market experts believe that these positive shifts and the recent changes in Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) strategies—where FIIs have been net buyers in the cash market for the past three trading sessions—are promising for the market.
Point of View
It's crucial to highlight the resilience of the Indian stock market amid global challenges. The current trends reflect a balancing act between domestic and international influences, emphasizing the importance of strategic investment in these fluctuating times.
