Nifty, Sensex Top Gainers, and Losers: The Indian markets witnessed profit taking amid mixed cues and lost over half a percent. After the initial uptick, the benchmark indices – Nifty and Sensex – gradually inched lower and to settle at the day’s low level of 17,656.40 and 59,543.96, respectively.
Meanwhile, the trend was mixed on the sectoral front wherein FMCG and energy majors were under pressure while auto and IT tried to save the day. Interestingly, the broader indices outperformed the benchmark and ended almost on a flat note.
While the global markets are still not portraying any clear trend, the recent buying in heavyweights especially from the banking pack has lifted the sentiment, Ajit Mishra, VP – Research, Religare Broking said in his market closing comment on Tuesday.
We may see some consolidation in the index ahead, but the tone is likely to remain positive, Mishra said. “The focus should remain on identifying stocks from the sectors which are participating in the move, without losing focus on risk management citing volatile global markets and prevailing earnings season.”
