Stock Market On Tuesday
Tuesday turned out to be a day of decision for Dalal Street, and the choice was made by the bold ones, not the scared ones. Nifty breached the level of 26,200, concluding the day at 26,178.70, a loss of 72 points (−0.27%), while the Sensex decreased by 376 points (−0.44%) and settled at 85,063.34. Profit-taking was the main reason for the drop; however, the global markets were in a better mood, and their influence was felt. The intraday price movements were quite bold: the Sensex registered a low of 84,900.10, while Nifty reached 26,124.75 before the closing prices backed slightly. Investors are in a state of dilemma.
