Stock market today
On the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Devarsh Vakil, Head of Prime Research at HDFC Securities, said, “Technically, the Nifty has regained its level above the 20-day EMA, indicating a potential strengthening of the underlying trend. The index appears to have established a strong base near 24,500. On the upside, 24,900 could offer short-term resistance for the Nifty, as investors also looked ahead to the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) monetary policy decision on June 6, with the central bank widely expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points for the third consecutive time.”
Asked about the outlook of the Bank Nifty today, Om Mehra, Technical Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities, said, “The Bank Nifty index is trading above all major moving averages, and the ascending triangle visible on the daily chart suggests the potential for an upward push. A close above 56,162 could open room for a fresh leg of gains.”
Speaking on the outlook for the Indian stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research — Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal, said, “We expect markets to consolidate with a positive bias, tracking global markets, macro-economic indicators and progress in US-India trade negotiations.”
