The unfilled gap between 23,890 and 23,820 remains relevant only if the index decisively breaks below the 24,000 support,&#8221; a market expert stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the Nifty constituents, Eternal, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Bajaj Finance emerged as the top gainers, providing a strong boost to the benchmark indices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sectorally, realty stocks led the market recovery, with the Nifty Realty index rising nearly 2 per cent. Private banking and IT stocks also witnessed buying interest. Meanwhile, the Nifty PSU Bank and Nifty Metal indices posted the least gains among the major sectoral indices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts said that the broader market sentiment improved as investors stepped in to buy beaten-down stocks following the recent correction, helping the benchmark indices regain some of their lost ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The near-term outlook is likely to hinge on the direction of global yields, energy prices and geopolitical developments, with sustained stability needed to keep earnings momentum and foreign inflows intact,&#8221; as per the expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, commenting on Bank Nifty a sustained breakout above 57,700\u201357,800 could strengthen buying momentum and pave the way for an advance towards the 58,000 region, which remains the next major resistance zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;On the downside, the 57,200\u201357,000 region remains the stronger support zone. Holding above this area will be important to sustain the prevailing recovery structure, while a decisive break below 57,000 could weaken the near-term bias and invite fresh selling pressure,&#8221; a market expert stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mumbai , The benchmark equity indices snapped their recent losing streak on Thursday, with the Nifty ending a seven-session decline and the Sensex reversing a four-day fall, supported by gains [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3514","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business","category-display","has_no_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3514"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3514\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3515,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3514\/revisions\/3515"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
