Stock market today: Trade setup for Nifty 50, global markets to Israel-Iran news; eight stocks to buy or sell on Monday
Stock Market Today: The benchmark Nifty-50 Index, for the week ended 20 June, ended more than 1% higher at 25,112.40 week on week. The Bank Nifty followed suit, also ending with 1.2% gains, at 56,252.85, while the IT index also stood among gainers, though metals and pharma were among key losers. Among the broader indices, the mid- and small-caps ended up to 1% lower.
Trade Setup for Monday
The Nifty has once again approached the upper band of its consolidation range. A sustained move above the 25,200 level would confirm a breakout, potentially opening the door for a rally toward the 25,600–25,800 zone. On the downside, 24,700 and 24,400 will serve as immediate and crucial support levels, as per Ajit Mishra, SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd.
Bank Nifty reclaimed levels above the 56,000 mark and could now gradually advance toward the 57,000 and 58,200 levels, added Mishra.
Global Markets and Israel-Iran war
“The Indian stock market concluded the week on a robust note, shrugging off midweek volatility triggered by escalating tensions in the Middle East and a sharp spike in crude oil prices. Reserve Bank of India’s relaxation of project financing norms, which provided a boost to financial stocks. The RBI’s continued dovish tone—signaling potential rate cuts on validating subdued inflation—further reinforced market confidence, positioning monetary policy as a key stabilizing force amid global uncertainty, said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments.
