MUMBAI: Indian stock markets ended sharply higher on Thursday, with benchmark indices logging their best session in over a month as easing geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran boosted investor confidence.
The Nifty closed 1.17 per cent, or 285.40 points, higher at 24, 765.90. Meanwhile, the Sensex rose 899.71 points, or 1.14 per cent, to end the day at 80, 015.90.
“The market is not completely out of the woods yet, and the current move should be considered only a pullback as long as Nifty trades below the 25, 200 level, ” an analyst stated.
“On the downside, immediate support is placed at 24, 600, and a break below this level could drag the index further towards 24, 400, ” a market expert mentioned.
