On the international front, Seoul, Tokyo, Jakarta, and Bangkok are positive. However, the markets of Shanghai and Hong Kong are in the red. US markets closed mixed on Wednesday.
Sameet Chavan, Head of Research, Technical and Derivative - Angel One, said, "The Indian equity market showed a positive start, drawing strength from robust global sentiments and favourable undertone. The benchmark index opened at record highs but experienced some correction due to a lack of sustained buying."
"However, the bulls made a modest recovery and the tug of war continued throughout the session. Amidst the volatile session, the Nifty50 index concluded the day on a subdued note above the 24,100 zone," he added.
