Sensex, Nifty, Asian Markets Face Key Levels on August 27
Asian stock markets mostly rose on Wednesday, but Indian markets fell slightly.
The Nifty 50 ended at 24,207, while the Sensex ended at 77,614.
Japan’s Nikkei, South Korea’s KOSPI, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng all finished higher.
Experts said the Nifty may rise toward 24,500–24,600 if it moves clearly above 24,400.
If it falls below about 24,150, it could move toward 24,000.
The Bank Nifty needs to stay above 58,000 to show stronger upward momentum.
Lower oil prices helped markets because they reduced some inflation and economic concerns.
Investors were also watching Nvidia’s results, bond yields, and developments involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
Asian equities mostly gained on August 26, while India’s Nifty 50 and Sensex declined.
The Nikkei 225 rose 0.5%, KOSPI gained 1.3%, and Hang Seng advanced 0.56%.
Nifty closed at 24,207 and Sensex at 77,614 after Wednesday’s session.
Analysts identified 24,400 as Nifty’s immediate resistance and 24,200 as its immediate support.
Lower crude prices, easing bond yields, and renewed peace hopes supported regional sentiment.
