Stock Market Today
Stock markets witnessed sharp fluctuations throughout the session on Wednesday, before closing flat, reflecting a continued tussle between opposing forces. Early in the day, pressure from heavyweight sectors, particularly banking, dragged the index lower. However, a recovery in select major stocks helped pare losses as the session progressed.
Despite the negative trend, oversold positions in certain heavyweight stocks are limiting the pace of decline. We recommend maintaining a "sell on rise" strategy for the Nifty index while prioritising prudent stock selection and effective risk management.
