Stock market today: Investor sentiment towards domestic equities improved in Monday’s session on April 27, as benchmark indices rose close to 1%, breaking a three-day losing streak. The uptrend was primarily led by a rebound in technology stocks, with strong performances from pharma and consumer goods shares adding further support.
Both the Nifty 50 and the Sensex gained 0.80% each. The broader market also followed suit, with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 indices advancing more than 1.5%.
However, the market is likely to snap its gaining streak as trends in the Gift Nifty index signalled a negative opening on Tuesday. Gift Nifty was trading near the 24,076 mark, down over 14.50 points over the previous close of Nifty futures.
“Indian markets are likely to open on a muted note, with Gift Nifty indicating a largely flat start around the 24,070 zone. While the index remains near key support levels, the broader setup suggests a balance between supportive global cues and lingering macro uncertainties,” said Hariprasad K, SEBI-registered Research Analyst and Founder, Livelong Wealth.
As the market is pointing towards a negative start, some stocks are likely to remain in focus on Tuesday due to their own positive/negative triggers.
