Stock market today: As many as 209 stocks, including HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, Coforge, Dixon Technologies and Torrent Pharmaceuticals, hit their fresh one-year highs in intraday trade on the BSE on Thursday, October 10.

Stocks such as CG Power and Industrial Solutions, Gujarat Fluorochemicals, Ipca Laboratories, Glenmark Pharma, Dr. Lal PathLabs, Metropolis Healthcare, Hitachi Energy India, Page Industries and Polycab India were also among those rising to their 52-week highs.

Mixed global cues ahead of the US CPI inflation data, coupled with caution surrounding the start of Q2 earnings for India Inc., kept the market trading within a narrow range.

Equity benchmarks, the Sensex and the Nifty 50, managed to close with mild gains, thanks to shares of select banking and automobile heavyweights such as HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Axis Bank, Mahindra and Mahindra and Maruti Suzuki.

However, losses in stocks such as Infosys, Sun Pharma, Larsen & Toubro and Reliance Industries capped the gains.

IT bellwether TCS will report its September quarter scorecard today. Apart from the numbers, the market's focus will be on management commentary on the demand outlook in key markets in the West. 

"The market traded on a rangebound trend with a negative bias ahead of the start of Q2 result. The Asian market started well but could not hold on to the gains as European markets waved on a negative trend in anticipation of the key US inflation data and rising global bond yields. Domestic broader market momentum was mixed with caution as the initial expectation of Q2FY25 results is subdued due to a subpar momentum in the global and rural demand," said Vinod Nair, the head of research at Geojit Financial Services.
