Nifty End Volatile Session Lower As Titan, SBI Drags: Closing Bell
Benchmark equity indices were little changed from Friday at close after a volatile session today. Shares of Titan Co., SBI, and RIL dragged them but the losses were limited on the back of gains in Kotak Mahindra Bank.
The Nifty closed at 22,442.7, down 33.15 points or 0.15% and the Sensex closed 17.39 points higher at 73,895.54.
"Indian bourses began the week on a strong note but a steep correction in the PSU stocks put pressure on the Index to trade lower," said Aditya Gaggar, director of Progressive Shares. "A vertical fall in the Mid and Smallcaps dented the market sentiments further."
"The Index has formed a small red candle but on the downside, the zone of 22,330-22,380 will act as a strong support while the higher side seems to be capped at 22,580," Gaggar added.

Nifty, Sensex Open Higher Led By Kotak Mahindra Bank
Benchmark equities recovered from Friday's fall and opened higher on the back of gains in Kotak Mahindra Bank. Sentiment across the globe was uplifted as a slowdown in the US jobs market indicated that the Federal Reserve will be able to start cutting rates as early as September.
At pre-open, the Nifty was at 22,561.60, higher by 85.75 points or 0.38% and Sensex rose 340.91 points or 0.46% to 74,219.06.
"DOJI and bearish engulfing in weekly and daily charts denoted a trend reversal with a negative divergence in RSI," said Aditya Gaggar, director of Progressive Shares. "We anticipate that the Index is likely to oscillate in a wide range of 22,160-22,770."
