Stock Market Today: Sensex, Nifty rise on upbeat US job data; Yes Bank, ITI, DHFL stocks soar

Stock Market Today: On account of the upbeat US job data, Indian indices inched higher in the intraday trade session. The BSE Sensex rose 61 points after closing at 38,470 levels while the 50-stocks Nifty ticked 18 points and closed at 11,269 levels. Bank Nifty shot up 161 points and closed at 28,815 after the Closing Bell.

Speaking on the Indian stock market Simi Bhaumik, a SEBI registered technical stock expert said, "Nifty has been trading in the range of 11,100 to 11,300. If Nifty sustains above 11,300 then we can expect it to touch 11,500 levels but the rise won't be fast as overall market sentiment is bearish due to the Coronavirus spread in India." She advised sell on rise rather than taking any buy position in the current market scenario and one must maintain stop loss while taking any buy or sell position.
