Sensex Today | Nifty 50 Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates | Opening Bell: Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty Slips Below 23,300, Sensex Drops Over 700 Points
Good morning, readers!
Dalal Street opened Wednesday’s session in the red as investors turned cautious ahead of the RBI MPC meeting. As of 7:40 am IST, the GIFT Nifty was trading with a loss of 12 points, or 0.05%, at 23,480.5. A cautious outlook means that the investors are waiting and watching for the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to start its meeting.
Nifty 50 broke a four-day losing streak and ended the day on Tuesday with gains of about 0.4% aided by strength in select sectors. Though the overall market sentiment has turned positive, ahead of the RBI policy decision, traders are likely to take selective bets on stocks rather than aggressive ones.
NHPC, Canara Bank, Adani Ports, Restaurant Brands Asia and a few others are likely to be in focus in today’s session.
