At the close, the Nifty 50 was at 19,355.90 up by 0.12%
Despite the prevailing broad-based weakness in Indian equities, the benchmark index exhibited commendable resilience and managed to maintain a marginal positive stance. This positive trajectory was primarily upheld by robust buying activity observed in heavyweight stocks, which provided vital support to the overall market sentiment.
NSE Nifty 50 commenced its trading session on a positive note, opening at a higher level and displaying an upward movement of 0.12 percent throughout the day. Eventually, the market concluded on a positive trajectory, reflecting a favorable closing position. Notably, the Nifty index surpassed the significant milestone of 19350, showcasing its strength and resilience.
Bank Nifty: Down by 0.14%
Bank Nifty, mirroring a positive sentiment, initiated the day’s proceedings in the green zone. However, as the day progressed, it experienced a decline of 0.14 percent, ultimately concluding in the red zone at a value of 44,860.85. Meanwhile, the BSE Sensex demonstrated a contrasting behavior, exhibiting an upward movement of 0.10 percent. This resulted in a favorable closing position as the index reached a notable high of 65,344.17, indicating its resilience and market strength.
The prevailing weakness in the Indian equities market was primarily driven by the performance of IT stocks, as this sector is poised to initiate the first quarter result season with anticipated subdued earnings. As market participants braced themselves for the upcoming financial reports, the subdued expectations surrounding the IT sector’s earnings contributed significantly to the overall weakness observed in the market.
The Indian equities market took cues from the US markets, which presented an unfavorable outlook. Despite expectations of a rapid cooling in future US Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data, concerns surrounding another rate hike persisted. These concerns weighed heavily on market sentiment, contributing to the prevailing unfavorable tone observed in the Indian equities market.
Bank Nifty
The Nifty Banking sector had some gainers and some losers for the day.

These results suggest that some banking stocks not performed better for the day.
Buzz
In a volatile trading session, the act of profit booking in late trades resulted in the majority of the early gains being nullified, causing key indices to conclude the session with modest gains. As the market approached the upcoming US monetary policy meeting scheduled later this month, certain uncertainties and obstacles were noticeable. There are ample indications suggesting that the Federal Reserve is inclined towards implementing a rate hike this month as a means to effectively manage and mitigate inflationary pressures.
The markets experienced fluctuations within a narrow range and ultimately concluded with marginal gains in the green, influenced by a combination of mixed cues. In the early hours, there was a positive tone prevailing, primarily driven by the robust upward movement witnessed in Reliance Industries. However, the overall upside potential was curtailed as pressure mounted on other heavyweight stocks, leading to the trimming of gains as the trading session progressed.
