Stock Market Highlights Today: Nifty forms a bearish candle on daily chart. What does it signal for tomorrow’s trade? – The Economic Times
Benchmark indices closed flat on Wednesday after profit booking at all-time high levels. IT and FMCG stocks saw buying but most of the other sectors declined. Though, broader market stocks were also in demand. Strong global cues supported the market in early trading but eventually, traders preferred to book profits. Analysts say the next cue for the market movement will be comments from Federal Reserve officials. The 30-share pack Sensex fell 14.77 points or 0.03 per cent to close at 55,944.21. The index traded in a range of about 300 points. Its broader peer NSE Nifty climbed 10.05 points or 0.06 per cent to 16,634.65.
