POST-MARKET SUMMARY 12th September 2024
On September 12, the Sensex and the Nifty surged over 1.5% in the final hour of the trading session to reach all-time highs of 83,116 and 25,433, respectively, buoyed by strong global cues. All sectors closed in the green, with auto, metal, and energy stocks driving the majority of the gains. The optimism was fuelled by a soft U.S. inflation print, which hit a 3-year low of 2.5% in August, paving the way for the Federal Reserve to potentially begin its rate easing cycle next week.

BANK NIFTY: The index opened 261 points higher at 51,271 and closed at 51,772. Bank Nifty has formed a strong bullish candlestick on the daily chart. Its major resistance level is now placed at 52,000 while major support is at 51,450.
