Stock market today: India’s benchmark equity indices, the Sensex and Nifty 50, ended a four-session losing streak on Tuesday, June 2, supported by gains in heavyweight IT stocks and value buying by investors.
After declining nearly 3% over the previous four trading sessions due to escalating Middle East tensions and sustained foreign institutional selling, the BSE Sensex rebounded to close at 74,650, gaining 383 points or 0.52%. Meanwhile, the NSE Nifty 50 advanced 101 points, or 0.43%, to settle at 23,484.
However, the market is likely to snap its gaining streak as trends in the Gift Nifty index signalled a negative opening on Wednesday. Gift Nifty was trading near the 23,456 mark, down over 147 points from the previous close of Nifty futures.
“Indian equities are likely to begin today’s session on a flat note, with Gift Nifty trading around 23,479, largely in line with Nifty’s previous close of 23,483. While global markets continue to display resilience, domestic investors remain caught between improving risk appetite overseas and persistent macro uncertainties closer to home,” 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 Wednesday due to their own positive/negative triggers.
