The Indian stock market trimmed most of its initial gains on Monday in a largely volatile trade session.
The
BSE Sensex, which surged as much as 429 points to cross the
37,000-mark, ended just 99.36 points or 0.27 points higher at 36,693.69.
It had opened at 36,880.66 and touched an intra-day high of 37,024.20 and a low of 36,533.96 points.
The
Nifty50 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) closed at 10,802.70,
higher by 34.65 points or 0.32 per cent from its previous close.
Among
the stocks, RIL continued its bull run as it touched a new high of Rs
1,947 per share and also became the first Indian company with a market
capitalisation of over Rs 12 lakh crore.
At the end of the day's
trade, RIL's market cap was at over Rs 12.26 lakh crore. Its shares on
the BSE closed at Rs 1,934.30, higher by Rs 55.80 or 2.97 per cent from
its previous close.
Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit
Financial Services, said: "In a volatile day of trade, the market gave
up almost all of its early gains, before closing out the day with a
positive bias. Financials ended negative while IT and FMCG led the
sectoral gains."
He said that the market is hoping for further
stimulus measures from the Reserve Bank of India, following expectations
of a softening of inflation rates, which would give RBI room for
further rate cuts.
"Investors are advised to be cautious and to
look at stock specific movements with regards to earnings announcements
and the commentary," Nair said.
Rahul Sharma, Market Strategist
& Research Head, Equity99 Advisors, noted that apart from RIL,
select FMCG and auto stocks witnessed select buying interest.
"Overall,
the market sentiments on the street are divided ahead of the corporate
earnings. We are witnessing a fight between greed and fear on the street
markets as an unexpected rally on the market has unfolded without
fundamental backing amid a slowdown in economic growth due to the
COVID-19 lockdown," Sharma said.
Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail
Research at HDFC Securities, said: "Technically, with the Nifty bouncing
back strongly from the lows, the bulls are not willing to give up
easily."
Further upsides are likely once the immediate highs of
10,838 are crossed, but weakness could however emerge if the supports of
10,756 are broken, he said.
