The global market cues remained mixed throughout the day, keeping the investors on their toes. While the US did not increase the fed rate yesterday, which brought some relief to the market, the geopolitical situation is worsening the markets globally.
With the intensifying geopolitical situation, the tension seems to be increasing regarding crude prices, which will be primarily affected if things are not sorted out.
However, the festive season, the unchanged repo rate by RBI, and economic growth prospects have kept the domestic market stable until now. While the broad market index dipped today, 29 of its constituting stocks were in the green, while the remaining 21 ended in the red. The top gainer stocks today from these 29 stocks gained around 1% to 2% during the market session.
