According to market experts, two strong factors have been at play in this consolidating market.
“One, the relentless selling by FIIs has been favouring the bears and pulling the market down. Two, the sustained buying by DIIs has been supporting the market preventing a crash in the market,” they said.
The Nifty remains caught in no-man's land between resistance at 24,360 and support at 24,000, which is in tune with how the market has been volatile but “has not been able to trend in either direction since the October 25 lows near 24,073”, said Akshay Chinchalkar, Head of Research at Axis Securities.
Meanwhile, Asian markets showed mixed performances in early trade as investors remain wary. Meanwhile, in the US, Wall Street's key indexes surged to record highs on Monday, buoyed by stocks expected to benefit from President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed fiscal policies.
In Asian markets, except Jakarta, the markets of Shanghai, Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok and Hong Kong were trading in red. US stock markets closed in green on the previous trading day.
Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold equities worth Rs 2,306 crore on November 11, while domestic institutional investors bought equities worth Rs 2,026 crore on the same day.
