GIFT Nifty ended up by 13.50 points or 0.06% at 23,537.50 indicating a lacklustre opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex on Tuesday.

“The market continued its downward trend, slipping nearly half a percent. Nifty saw a sharp dip initially but managed to recover most of its losses mid-session before eventually closing with a modest cut at 23,453.80. Sector-wise, there was a mixed performance, with metals, FMCG, and auto gaining, while IT and energy sectors remained under pressure. The broader indices also showed mixed results, as the midcap index remained flat while the smallcap index declined by nearly half a percent,” said Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking.

Mishra also added that the Nifty has now fallen below its major support at the 200-day EMA after a brief pause, indicating that the bears are in control. However, oversold conditions in heavyweight stocks across sectors are currently slowing the pace of the decline. We recommend maintaining a cautious outlook on the index and focusing selectively on stock-specific opportunities.
