Investors in the Indian stock market are expected to monitor a range of companies on Friday, September 18, in light of significant business developments, order acquisitions, investment strategies, expansion efforts, partnerships, and various corporate announcements. Bharat Electronics, Oil India, PB Fintech, Responsive Industries, and Avenue Supermarts are stocks that are expected to attract attention. Wipro and PTC India are likely to garner interest in light of the recent announcements issued by the companies.
The Indian stock market concluded Thursday’s trading session on 17 September with modest gains, as traders appeared to dismiss the US Federal Reserve’s rate hike, which had been largely anticipated. The Nifty 50 concluded the session at 23,270, reflecting an increase of 0.23% from the prior close, whereas the Sensex experienced a rise of 0.10%, reaching 74,413. The broader market, however, outperformed the frontline indices, with the Midcap 100 index surging 1% and the Smallcap 100 rallying 0.76%.
