Other sectors like auto, metals, pharma, and oil & gas also showed good gains. However, the IT sector ended slightly lower. Overall, broader indices posted gains between 0.9% and 1.6%.
According to Nagaraj Shetti from HDFC Securities, if Nifty moves above 24,400, it could see a quick jump toward the 24,600-24,800 range. Immediate support is seen at 24,050. For Bank Nifty, a move above 55,577 could lead to targets of 56,200 and 56,800, said experts from Bajaj Broking.
Indian stocks continue to attract buyers despite global tensions. Analysts expect some volatility due to geopolitical issues. Meanwhile, stock-specific movements will likely continue because of ongoing Q4 results. Key companies announcing results today include Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv, Trent, BPCL, and Ambuja Cements.
