Talking about the performance today, Nagaraj Shetti, senior technical research analyst at HDFC Securities, said, “After showing higher weakness from the highs within a broader range on Friday, Nifty witnessed a sustainable upside recovery from the lows on Monday and closed the day higher by 36 points. After opening on a negative note, the market slipped into further weakness soon after the opening. It later started to show recovery from the day’s low of 23350 and after the upside momentum with range bound action continued in the mid to later part of the session.”
Prashanth Tapse, senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities, said, “Markets stayed volatile ahead of this week’s monthly expiry, as key benchmark indices ended with modest gains after a sharp fall in early trades amid selective buying in auto, power and capital goods shares while selling in IT, metal and oil & gas pared gains. Stocks may see sharp gyrating during the week, and investors would resort to value buying in select counters.”
