Stocks in Focus: GIFT Nifty traded up 38.5 points or 0.20% at 19496.5, indicating a positive opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex on Wednesday. Previously on Tuesday, the NSE Nifty 50 slipped 5.05 points or 0.03% to settle at 19,406.70, while the BSE Sensex dropped 16.29 points or 0.03% to 64,942.40.
“Profit taking in select stocks ended the 3-day rally as key indices ended marginally lower in a sluggish trading session. Due to weakness in Asian and European markets, investors traded with caution back home even as crude oil prices declined further. The fall was quite sharp in early trades, but markets pared losses and languished in negative territory thereafter. Technically, the confirmation of strength for Nifty can be seen only above its biggest hurdles at 19,707 mark, while support is placed at 19,225 mark,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities.
