Top Stocks to Watch Sep 26: Indian equity benchmark indices snapped their four-day losing streak and settled marginally higher on Monday after a highly volatile session as weak global trade and foreign fund outflows dented the investor sentiment.
The BSE Sensex rose marginally by 14.54 points or 0.02 per cent to settle at 66,023.69. The NSE Nifty settled marginally up 0.30 points at 19,674.55.
"The day presented a mixed picture in the market, with sectors such as Realty, Banking, and Consumer Durables performing well while IT and Pharma struggled. Investors were actively repositioning, shifting away from stocks tied to the global economy and focusing on the domestic economy. Concerns loomed over a potential global economic slowdown due to the prolonged period of high interest rates,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
While the domestic market is witnessing good registration and consumption demand ahead of the festival season, India's entry into JP Morgan's Emerging Markets Government Bond Index is benefiting the financial sector in anticipation of a reduction in funding costs," he added.
