Stock Market Today: The markets started a new week on a weak note as the benchmark Nifty 50 index ended 0.63% lower at 24,680.90. The Bank Nifty declined 0.79% to 56,084.90, while most sectors, with the exception of FMCG , led by Metals & Realty, ended in the red. In the broader indices, mid- and small-caps also corrected 0.84-1.26%.
Trade Setup for Tuesday
As the Nifty is trading below 24,800, the weak sentiment is likely to continue. On the downside, the market may correct to 24,550–24,500. On the upside, a break above 24,800 could lead to a pullback rally extending up to 24,900, as per Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research, Kotak Securities.
For Bank Nifty, the 55,500–55,000 area remains a key support zone as per Bajaj Broking.
Global markets today and Q1 Results
Markets are currently grappling with headwinds on both domestic and global fronts. On the domestic side, earnings disappointments and persistent foreign fund outflows are dampening sentiment. In the banking space, earlier resilience had helped limit the decline; however, renewed pressure across the sector—except for heavyweights ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank—is adding to participants’ concerns. Globally, uncertainty surrounding trade deals, despite strength in the US markets, is contributing to the cautious approach, said Mishra, SVP, Research, Religare Broking.
