Stock market today: Indian benchmarks closed in positive territory on Monday, 22 June, supported by improving sentiment after reports indicated progress in US-Iran peace negotiations and easing crude oil prices, which enhanced investors’ appetite for risk.
The Sensex advanced 291.17 points, or 0.38%, to end the session at 77,094.07, while the Nifty 50 climbed 89.80 points, or 0.37%, to settle at 24,102.90.
However, the market is likely to open flat as trends in the Gift Nifty index signalled a cautious opening on Tuesday, 23 June. Gift Nifty was trading near the 24,149 mark, up over 26 points from the previous close of Nifty futures.
“Indian markets are expected to trade with a cautiously positive bias as diplomatic progress in the U.S.–Iran negotiations continues to support investor sentiment. Comments from the U.S. Vice President that there is a “good foundation” for finalising the proposed agreement have reinforced optimism that talks remain on a constructive path, bolstering hopes of a lasting resolution in the Middle East,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.
As the market is pointing towards a positive start, some stocks are likely to remain in focus on Tuesday due to their own positive/negative triggers.
