TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS
The Indian markets at half-time are still trading in the green with gains of 90 points on Nifty amidst bouts of volatility as bears are defending the 9,450 resistance level which happens to be the upper end of the trading range, said Aditya Agarwala, senior technical analyst, YES Securities.
“Auto, media, metal and IT stocks are spearheading the markets higher while banking and NBFC stocks remain under pressure which is dragging the markets lower. Further, if bulls manage to keep the Index above the 9,300 mark, late short covering rally could take it beyond the upper end of the trading range i.e. 9,450,” he said.
