Indian Equity Markets Weaken Amid Crude Price Rise; Analysts Recommend Select Stocks
The Indian equity market ended a holiday-shortened week on a weak note, with the Sensex falling 0.65% to around 74,294 and the Nifty slipping 0.22% to approximately 23,346. Elevated crude oil prices, geopolitical tensions, and rising global bond yields contributed to cautious investor sentiment. Analysts Mehul Kothari and Sumeet Bagadia highlighted key support and resistance levels for the Nifty and recommended stocks under 200 and 100 rupees respectively, including Castrol India, NHPC, Vikram Solar, Equitas Small Finance Bank, Meghmani Organics, and Filatex. Sectoral performance was mixed, with metals and media gaining while IT and consumer sectors remained weak.
