The Indian stock markets closed nearly unchanged on Monday, with the Sensex declining by 64 points to reach 85,642, while the Nifty 50 decreased by 27 points to settle at 26,176.
The markets had a strong opening following robust Q2 GDP figures, but the upward momentum diminished as investors began to take profits near record highs. The positive sentiment was supported by strong domestic demand, particularly in the automotive sector.
According to Abhinav Tiwari, a Research Analyst at Bonanza, the market is likely to remain cautious and range-bound moving forward as all eyes are on the RBI Monetary Policy Committee meeting set for December 3 - 5.
Expectations are for a 25 bps rate cut to 5.25% due to decreasing inflation. "Until there is more clarity on the RBI's position regarding interest rates and liquidity, volatility may persist, especially in banking, real estate, and automotive stocks, which are more affected by shifts in interest rates," said Tiwari.
As per Vatsal Bhuva, Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, Nifty 50 concluded Monday's session with a bearish candlestick, marking the third consecutive day of weak performance and indicating ongoing consolidation at elevated levels accompanied by selling pressure.
"Furthermore, call writing observed at 26,200 and 26,300 implies that the index might experience sideways movement in the short term with a slight bearish sentiment. The immediate support is identified at 26,100, with resistance observed at 26,300, whereas positional support is noted at 26,000 levels," said Bhuva.
