Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: GIFT Nifty extends losses to 90 pts; HUL in focus

Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: The Nifty 50 enters a new trading week that will be dominated by both local and global headlines after four straight weeks of losses. The new pre-open rules on the NSE and BSE also take effect today, details of which are available on our website.

The first aim of the bulls will be to reclaim and sustain above the mark of 24,000, which can be seen as the first positive. The second aim will be to defend last week’s low of 23,786, in case any dip emerges during the intraday session. A dampener in sentiment is that crude oil prices continue to remain elevated, with Brent now heading back towards the $100 a barrel mark. For the Nifty Bank, it remains locked in the 57,000 – 58,000 range, although defending 57,000 will be key as it has not closed below that level since July 29.

The week will also see inflation data announcements both in India and the US, along with central bank decisions such as the ECB. The main domestic focus will be in the primary markets, as 12 mainboard IPOs worth over ₹7,000 crore will vie for investor attention, including 10 on the same day.

Also keep an eye on stocks like HEG, Tata Motors, Mazagon Dock, JSW Steel and other crude sensitives.
