On Tuesday, Nifty 50 closed 0.39% up to 23,557.90. The benchmark index hit another all-time high in the session, jumping to 23,579.05. Shriram Finance led the gainers and Maruti Suzuki experienced the steepest decline.
Ajit Mishra senior vice president, research, Religare Broking said, “Markets began the week with modest gains, continuing the prevailing positive trend. After opening with a gap up, the Nifty traded within a narrow range throughout the day and closed at 23,560, up by 0.40%. Sectoral performance was mixed, with gains in Realty, private banks, and IT, while pharma, metal, and FMCG sectors lagged. The broader indices maintained their positive momentum, reaching new record highs. We anticipate the prevailing trend to persist, with Nifty gradually moving towards the 24,000 level. Additionally, renewed strength in the banking index supports our bullish outlook. Therefore, we recommend maintaining a “buy on dips” strategy, focusing on stocks demonstrating higher relative strength.”
Shriram Finance topped the performance chart with a 3.57% increase, closing at ₹2829.75, up from ₹2732.15. This rise made it the day’s standout performer.
