Top stocks to watch out for today: Indian equity benchmark indices surged further to close at record highs for the fourth consecutive session on Tuesday, on the back of unabated foreign fund inflows and largely bullish investor sentiments. In addition, heavy buying in index majors Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv, Infosys, HDFC Bank and TCS boosted the optimism in the equity market.
The BSE Sensex jumped 274 points or 0.42 per cent to settle at its all-time closing high of 65,479.05. The NSE Nifty climbed 66.45 points or 0.34 per cent to end at a fresh record high of 19,389. The Indian rupee fell 6 paise to settle at 82.02 against the US dollar on Tuesday.
“The Nifty ended positive on the sixth consecutive day, the undertone of the Nifty index and the broader market is extremely bullish. One should maintain a buy-on-dips approach on nifty and avoid any short position until breaks 19200,” said Kunal Shah, Senior Technical & Derivative analyst at LKP Securities.
“The immediate support for the nifty index stands at 19300 where maximum open interest in put options data is seen and on the upper end nifty can face resistance at 19500 where maximum open interest in calls is seen, if nifty breaks 19500 levels we can see some further upside move towards 19700,” said Shah.
