Stocks to buy under ₹100: Following weak global market sentiments after the sell-off on Wall Street, the Indian stock market crashed in the early morning session on Wednesday. However, the frontline indices pared their early morning losses with strong buying in the Sensex heavyweight Reliance Industries Ltd shares. The Nifty 50 index ended 33 points lower at the 23,674 mark, the BSE Sensex went off 50 points and closed at 78,148, while the Nifty Bank Index corrected 366 points and finished at 49,836. Amongst the sectoral indices, Nifty OIL/GAS, IT and FMCG were major gainers, while Nifty Consumer durables, Healthcare and Pharma fell the most. Declining shares outnumbered the advancing shares, where the advance-decline ratio stood at 0.54 levels on BSE.
Speaking on the outlook for the Nifty 50 index, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, "The short-term trend of the Nifty 50 index continues to be weak. However, Tuesday's upside bounce could be a slight positive factor for the bulls to return. Immediate resistance is at 23,800, and the upside breakout of this hurdle could open further upside for the short term. Immediate support is at 23,460."
On the outlook for the Bank Nifty today, Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta, said, "Bank Nifty opened flat but faced heavy selling pressure, and settled the day on a negative note at 49,835. Technically, Bank Nifty has broken its 250-day Simple Moving Average (250-DSMA) support and formed a red candle on a daily scale, indicating weakness. Moreover, the index is still placed below 200-DSMA, which is near the 50,720 level. However, the index managed to close above the trend line support. As long as Bank Nifty maintains below 50,720 levels, traders are advised to book profits on the bounce."
On the outlook for the Indian stock market today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research—Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal, said, "We expect Indian markets to remain range-bound with stock/sector-specific action based on upcoming Q3 results 2024-25."
