Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 3 (ANI): Indian stock markets ended flat on Monday, with the Nifty extending its losing streak to the ninth day amid the uncertain global situation.

Observing the trading in Indian markets, Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Intermediates Ltd., said, “The domestic benchmark index, Nifty, opened with an upward gap following strong global cues but faced selling pressure, ultimately closing flat at 22,119.”
“The market experienced a gradual recovery from its intraday low, driven by improving economic growth, a rebound in consumption expenditure, and healthy expansion in the agricultural sector, which influenced investor sentiment,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services.
“With valuations approaching oversold levels, domestic indicators suggest potential for a rebound. However, the longevity of this recovery remains uncertain, contingent on easing global trade uncertainties, which currently show limited signs of improvement,” he added.
The Bank Nifty opened higher on Monday but experienced selling pressure during the session and concluded the day on a negative note at 48,114.
According to the market analysts, the market may see volatilities in the upcoming week, continuing its previous trends.
Market analysts also say that the persistent Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) selling will continue to add pressure to the sentiments of the investors. (ANI)
