Sensex climbs 42K, Nifty at lifetime high; MTNL, Indiabulls Real Estate stocks gain
The BSE Sensex hit its all-time high after testing the 42,000 levels - breaking its previous all-time high of 41,993 while the Nifty-50 index rose to 12,377.80 level - breaking its previous high of 12,776 levels.
The stock market of India scaled on the strong global cues coming in from the US-China trade deal signing. The BSE Sensex hit its all-time high after testing the 42,000 levels — breaking its previous all-time high of 41,993 while the Nifty-50 index rose to 12,377.80 level — breaking its previous high of 12,776 levels. However, Bank Nifty continues to remain weak and shed 124 points to 31,949.20 levels.
Speaking on the current market scenario Simi Bhaumik, a SEBI registered technical equity analyst said, "The market is overall bullish. Nifty is facing strong resistance in between 12,300 to 12,400. If the 50-stocks index sustains above 12,300 levels, then we can expect it to touch 12,400 in one to two trade sessions." She said that Bank Nifty is showing weakness and there can be some more correction taking place in the banking stocks.
