Profit Idea’s founder and managing director, Varun Aggarwal, provided his analysis of the day’s market activity. “Indian markets consolidated today along expected lines,” he said. The global markets are consolidating and choosing their course as events unfold due to a lot of uncertainty. “Bias remains bullish on Nifty with upside potential levels towards 20160 remains intact as long as we are above 18887,” said Aggarwal, reiterating his bullish outlook for the Nifty and highlighting the potential for gains on the upside.

Sectoral change is apparent, and certain IT, pharmaceutical, and FMCG stocks appear to have good upside potential. The Indian stock market maintains its resiliency, offering opportunities for both cautious consolidation and potential gains in a variety of sectors, while investors continue to closely monitor global events and economic indicators.
