The Nifty Midcap 100 was up 0.4% and the Nifty Smallcap 100 was up 1%, indicating stronger performance from the overall market. PSU Bank emerged as the greatest winner in the sector, which saw a mixed bag of results.
The release of significant macro data in the US and Europe, along with the RBI policy meeting, has caused markets to move cautiously. Watching US Fed Chair Powell’s speech closely will be important, and until events take place over the next several days, the market is predicted to stabilize.
The Nifty began the day with a deficit and saw a rebound during the day, ending the day slightly lower by about 19 points at the intraday lows. A near-term consolidation may result from the contrasting signals provided by the momentum setup on the hourly and daily time frames. With the 47300–47250 range serving as a critical support zone, the Bank Nifty ended the day higher.
