The Nifty index gained 61.25 points to close the Tuesday trading session at 18,816.70. Likewise, the Bank Nifty index rose by 132.75 points and ended at 43,766.50. Nifty maintained a closing of over 18,800 level while Bank Nifty managed to stay above 43,750. With the exception of Nifty Pharma and Nifty Media, the majority of sectors saw positive gains. Nifty IT in particular stood out as the sector with top performance. Tata Motors, HCL Tech, and HDFC Life were the top gainers, whereas Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv, and Sun Pharma were the top losers.
Commenting on the market outlook on Wednesday, Siddhartha Khemka, Head - Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd said "Investors would focus on PM Modi's visit to the US as this will strengthen ties and deal wins. Also, all eyes will be on Fed chair Jerome Powell's two-day congressional testimony starting on Wednesday. These could potentially hint at a July hike given the Fed signaled the possibility of more rate increases later in the year if inflation remained an issue. Niche sectors like Defence are likely to remain in action on the back of expectation of new orders. NBFC stocks are witnessing renewed interest on expectation of a good monsoon which would improve microfinance demand from the rural sectors. The IT sector is likely to remain in focus ahead of Accenture results on Thursday."
