Stock market today: Indian benchmarks – Sensex and Nifty – snapped their two-day winning streak, closed on a lower note on Monday, December 15, amid ongoing global cues.
The Sensex slipped 54 points, or 0.06%, to settle at 85,213.36, while the Nifty 50 declined 20 points, or 0.08%, to 26,027.30. In contrast, broader markets outperformed the benchmarks, with the BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices gaining 0.16% and 0.41%, respectively.
“Markets traded in a volatile manner on Monday and eventually ended almost unchanged, extending the ongoing consolidation phase. The session began on a cautious note, tracking continued weakness in the rupee and mixed global cues. However, a rebound in index heavyweights from key sectors helped pare most of the early losses, enabling the Nifty to close flat at 26,027.30. With most major domestic and global events behind us, rupee weakness and mixed global cues are currently dictating market direction. At the same time, rotational strength in heavyweight stocks across sectors is providing support and helping the index hold its ground amid the ongoing consolidation phase,” said Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd.
Meanwhile, sector-wise rotation into heavyweight stocks is lending support, enabling the index to stay resilient during the ongoing consolidation phase.
Against this backdrop, here’s a list of stocks that will potentially attract investor interest and likely to witness some movements today.
