- The Nifty index has the immediate support zone of 18500 levels and can expect some consolidation as of now, said Vaishali Parekh
Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty snapped an eight-session winning streak on Friday, but held on to weekly gains. The S&P BSE Sensex closed 0.66% down at 62,868.5, while the Nifty 50 index settled 0.62% lower at 18,696 on Friday. For the week, the Sensex and Nifty rose 0.92% and 0.99%, respectively, boosted by expectations of smaller rate hikes by the Fed from its December policy meeting. The Nifty Midcap 100 outperformed its larger peers, climbing 4.5% in the last eight days.
The rupee pared its initial gains to settle down by 7 paise at 81.33 against the US dollar on Friday as the support from weak dollar was negated by weak domestic markets and gains in crude oil prices.
Asian equities rose on Monday amid gains in materials stocks and Chinese shares as traders bet on further reopening of China from Covid restrictions.
