Daily Market Review
The key benchmarks extended their gains to hit all-time highs in today’s session. However, by the end of the day, they consolidated and erased their morning gains to end flat. The broader markets closed at a decent gain, but continue to remain under pressure, trading slightly below their 50-day moving average.
The Nifty opened the day at a record high of 9,636.55, and traded range bound to end flat at -0.03%. Closing the day at 9,621.2, the index traded in a narrow range of 9,609.25 – 9,649.60. The index continues to trade nearly 3.6% above its 50-day moving average.
The Sensex opened 63 points or 0.2% up, at 31,222.51 to tick another all-time high of 31,255.28 during the day. However, amidst consolidation, it lost the momentum and ended the day flat at 31,145.80. The index is currently ~4% above its 50-day moving average.
