Liquide Post-Market Summary 18th July 2024

On July 18, the Indian equity market escalated to fresh record highs, extending its winning run for the fourth consecutive session, led by IT, Banking, and FMCG stocks. Amid weak global cues, the Indian indices opened lower, with Nifty below 24,550, but recovered in the initial hours and experienced lacklustre trading in the first half. However, buying in FMCG, IT, and banking helped benchmarks reach all-time highs. Among sectors, banking, auto, IT, FMCG, and telecom rose 0.3-2%, while capital goods, metal, power, and media declined 1-3.5%.
