Markets rangebound with Nifty below 24,600 mark, Sensex slightly lower

Indian equity markets closed Monday’s trade with the Nifty index ending flat, slightly below the 24,600 mark, amid a range-bound session.

Index Last closing price Change of points Percentage change (%)
Sensex 80,425 -12 -0.01%
Skilled 24,573 +31 +0.13%
Nifty Bank 50,368 -149 -0.29%
Mid-Cap Index 57,761 +105 +0.18%

Sector performance varied throughout the day. Metal stocks experienced positive movement, driven by rising global commodity prices, with gains ranging between 2% and 4%.

On the other hand, the financial sector exerted downward pressure on the Nifty. Among the top losers were leading financial stocks such as Axis Bank, ICICI Bank and IndusInd Bank, contributing to the overall sector decline.

Individual stocks showed a mixed performance. Shriram Finance rose 3% after HSBC revised up its target price to ₹3,600 per share. Zomato saw profit-taking and closed 7% below its all-time highs.

Glenmark Pharma rose 4% after announcing strong first-quarter results, while Caplin Point rose 12% on positive regulatory news from Brazil. Voltas rose 5% on strong first-quarter results and favorable analyst reports. Ola Electric nearly doubled its IPO price and ended the day up 10%.

In contrast, IndiGo fell 2% as 0.5% of its equity changed hands. Mishra Dhatu Nigam gained 3% after receiving an order of Rs 285 crore.

Market breadth was favorable for advancing stocks, with an advance-to-decline ratio of 3:1, indicating overall positive market sentiment.

Despite range-bound movements, sector-specific developments and individual stock returns led to a mixed but stable overall market performance.
