MUMBAI: The Indian stock market ended a volatile trading session on a mixed note on Thursday, with healthcare and PSU bank stocks leading the gains while media and FMCG shares lagged behind.
The benchmark Nifty closed marginally higher by 0.06 per cent, or 14.05 points, at 25, 496.55. In contrast, the Sensex slipped 27.46 points, or 0.03 per cent, to settle at 82, 248.61.
Commenting on Nifty technical outlook, experts said that a decisive close above 25, 700 accompanied by strong volumes would be required to alter momentum meaningfully.
“Until then, selective dip-buying may continue as long as 25, 400 holds as a structural base, ” an expert added.
Among 30-share pack, Trent was the worst performer, down 1.61 per cent. Eternal, Power Grid, HDFC Bank, Bajaj Finserv and Asian paints were among top losers.
