Sensex, Nifty Today: Indian equity benchmark indices, the Sensex and Nifty, started today’s trading session in the green as positive global cues and easing crude oil prices supported investor sentiment. While the 30-share BSE Sensex gained 70.51 points or 0.09 per cent to start the session at 77,998.66, the Nifty added 44.3 points to open at 24,361.45. In the last trading session, the Sensex closed at 77,928.15 and the Nifty 50 at 24,317.15. Similarly, the broader indices traded in the green in the early trading session. While the BSE Midcap Select Index was up by 21.33 points, the BSE Smallcap Select Index added 16.20 points or 0.18 per cent, to trade in the green at 8,777.82.
From the Sensex pack, Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv, Mahindra & Mahindra, Maruti and BEL were the gainers with Bajaj Finance leading the pack by gaining 3.23 per cent in the early trade. On the other hand, Infosys, HCL Tech, TCS, Tech Mahindra and Adani Ports were among the losers with Infosys being the top loser by falling over 3.61 per cent.
In early trade, market breadth was positive, with 1,497 stocks advancing against 835 stocks declining on the NSE. 91 stocks remained unchanged.
“Although intermittent profit booking may emerge near higher levels after the recent upmove, the overall trend continues to favour the bulls. Sustaining above immediate support zones will be essential to maintain momentum, while a decisive move beyond resistance could open the door for further upside in the near term,” said Hitesh Tailor, Technical Research Analyst at Choice Broking Private Limited.
