After opening at 19446.30 today, down from the previous close of 19528.75, the Nifty 50 finally closed today at 19436.10, which is 0.47% down from yesterday’s closing price.
The market has been sluggish throughout the day, and only a few stocks gained significantly. As investors await RBI’s take on interest rates, due on 6 October 2023, they seem sceptical about pouring in new funds. While RBI’s upcoming decision has primarily driven the market this week, other factors like rising crude prices, inflationary pressure, and adverse climatic conditions across the country are also putting pressure on the markets.
However, 11 stocks offered gains today out of the 50 stocks of Nifty 50. Today’s top gainer stocks include Adani Enterprise, Nestle India, and Eicher Motor, with some significant gains.
