Nifty Expiry Brings Sharp Recovery Amid Key Market Risks
Indian stocks rose strongly on Tuesday, September 15.
The Nifty and Sensex both gained after markets reopened from a holiday.
HDFC Bank helped lift the market after beginning its process to choose a new chief executive.
It was also a Nifty expiry day, when traders settle or change some contracts.
This can make prices move more quickly than usual.
Analysts said the Nifty may find support around 23,300 to 23,350.
They said a move above 23,800 could make the recovery stronger, while a fall below 23,250 could bring back selling.
Expensive oil and higher US interest-rate expectations could still pressure Indian stocks.
The Sensex rose 655 points to 75,436.44, while the Nifty gained 195 points to 23,592.85.
HDFC Bank climbed more than 2% after submitting CEO succession candidates to the Reserve Bank of India.
Nifty expiry could increase trading volumes and cause sharper intraday price movements.
Analysts identified 23,300–23,350 as immediate support and 23,500–23,600 as immediate resistance.
Elevated crude prices, rising US bond yields, institutional selling and the Federal Reserve meeting remain key risks.
