Indian benchmarks, Sensex and Nifty, ended their two-day winning streak, closing lower on Monday, December 15, influenced by prevailing global cues. The Sensex experienced a decline of 54 points, representing a decrease of 0.06%, closing at 85,213.36. Meanwhile, the Nifty 50 fell by 20 points, which is a 0.08% drop, finishing at 26,027.30. In comparison, the broader markets exceeded the benchmarks, as evidenced by the BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices which recorded gains of 0.16% and 0.41%, respectively.
“Markets exhibited volatility on Monday, ultimately closing nearly flat, thereby continuing the current consolidation phase. The session commenced with a prudent approach, monitoring ongoing depreciation in the rupee alongside varied international indicators. Nonetheless, a recovery in major stocks from essential sectors contributed to reducing the majority of the initial declines, allowing the Nifty to finish unchanged at 26,027.30. With the majority of significant domestic and international events concluded, the current market direction is being influenced by the weakness of the rupee and varied global indicators. Simultaneously, the rotational strength observed in heavyweight stocks across various sectors is offering support and enabling the index to maintain its position during the current consolidation phase,” stated Ajit Mishra.
At the same time, the rotation among sectors into major stocks is providing support, allowing the index to maintain its strength throughout the current consolidation phase.
