Buy or sell stocks for today: Domestic equity benchmarks Sensex, and Nifty extended their gains for the second straight session, largely buoyed by a rally in US stocks amid hopes of a potential Fed interest rate cut next week. Information technology (IT) and pharma stocks led the surge in the previous session, with the Nifty IT stocks rising five per cent, fueled by optimism over rate cuts and a positive sector outlook from domestic brokerage firms.
The Nifty 50 rose by 104.70 points to settle at 25,041.10, while the 30-share BSE Sensex rose 361.75 points to 81,921.29 at the close of the trading hours. Mid-cap and small-cap indices outperformed the benchmarks, with the BSE smallcap gauge climbing 1.53 per cent and the midcap index going up 0.53 per cent.
At the interbank foreign exchange (forex) market, the local unit opened at 83.95 against the American currency and settled at 83.98 against the US dollar, down three paise from its previous close on Tuesday, September 10.
International crude oil prices extended their bearish streak and crashed to a 33-month low in the previous session, with the Brent crude benchmark sinking below $70 per barrel for the first time since December 2021.
The price crash was due to demand concerns after the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+) slashed its world oil demand forecast for 2024 and 2025 and a possible resolution of the Libyan dispute.

For the Nifty 50’s outlook today, Parekh said, “Nifty has taken support near the 24,800 zone and indicated a decent pullback to form a higher bottom pattern on the daily chart with improvement in the bias and sentiment to anticipate further rise.”
“Bank Nifty overall has been sluggish, as compared to the Nifty index and would need to breach above the 5,1800 zone to establish conviction decisively and thereafter, anticipate further rise for next targets of 5,2600 and 53,500 levels in the coming days,” she added.
According to the expert, Nifty50’s support for the day is at 24,900 levels, while the resistance is at 25,200 levels. Bank Nifty would have a daily range of 50,900-51,800 levels.
