Markets Ahead
Reliance was bearish from the beginning of the day after breaking the 2,200 mark. From here it slowly kept falling and hit a low at 2,140. The resultant effect? Nifty was dragged down by 43 points by Reliance alone!
From when the AGM started at 2 PM., Reliance fell 1.5% by market close. Meanwhile Nifty moved 0% at the same time as big players kept it volatile and steady at the same time. Funnily, stocks other than Reliance were the most volatile in the day.
In between all this, Infy and TCS together contributed 71 points to Nifty. Remember Infy’s buyback starts tomorrow and it is a stock that has always given shareholders maximum returns.
The June expiry series has ended nearly 450 points up from the May expiry for Nifty. Meanwhile, Bank Nifty has ended 250 points down. Expecting more participation from the index tomorrow and going forward to July.
Watching SBI Cards also for a good move back up in July after the June fall.
