What to watch for trade on October 24? Focus on SBI, HUL, BEML, and Dalmia Bharat to remain in focus

Action-packed day for Indian markets tomorrow with Adani Wilmar, ACC, ITC, and Godrej Consumer Products set to release their quarterly results. Also, the HUL stock is likely to be in focus on the back of its quarterly earnings plus the decision to separate the ice cream business. Both the IPOs, Deepak Builders & Engineers and Waaree Energies, to finalise their allotment on October 24.

Meanwhile, Indian markets ended Wednesday’s trading session on a lower note. The Nifty 50 closed the session 0.15% lower at 24,435. The Sensex ended the session 139 points or 0.17% lower at 80,082. However, the Nifty Midcap 100 outperformed, closing the session 360 points or 0.64% higher at 56,534. 

“Investor mindset turned gloomy with the tepid earnings and a knee-jerk reaction from FIIs, which dragged the market sentiment. However, mid and small-caps are experiencing bargain hunting following the recent decline, though the sustainability of this momentum-driven buying remains uncertain. The US 10-year yield inched higher, signalling a slower tempo of rate cuts by the FED, which is poised for a risk-off sentiment towards EMs,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
