POST-MARKET SUMMARY 22 August 2023
Post-market report and news around trending stocks.
The markets closed marginally higher in an extremely rangebound session today. Traders chose a cautious approach, opting to observe from the sidelines following a period of turbulent trading in the preceding week. Amidst the constrained movement, there was noticeable interest in purchasing power and capital goods stocks. Conversely, Indian IT stocks underperformed even though the tech-centric Nasdaq saw a notable rise in the previous trading session.
