Share Market Highlights November 11, 2024: Sensex, Nifty close flat amid unabated foreign fund outflows, muted earnings

Sensex, Nifty updates on November 11, 2024: Benchmark stock indices Sensex and Nifty closed flat in highly volatile trade on Monday as continuous FII selling, disappointing quarterly earnings and weak trends from Asian markets dented investor sentiment. After gyrating between highs and lows, benchmark Sensex eked out gains of 9.83 points or 0.01 per cent to settle at 79,496.15. The barometer gyrated 1,100.8 points between the day’s high of 80,102.14 and a low of 79,001.34. The NSE Nifty dipped marginally by 6.90 points or 0.03 per cent to 24,141.30. From the 30-share Sensex pack, Asian Paints tumbled over 8 per cent after the company on Saturday reported a 43.71 per cent decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 693.66 crore for the September quarter, impacted by soft-demand conditions, material price inflation and a decline in decorative and coatings business in the domestic market. Tata Steel, Bajaj Finance, Mahindra & Mahindra, JSW Steel, NTPC, Adani Ports, Bajaj Finserv and Larsen & Toubro were also among the laggards. However, Power Grid, HCL Technologies, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Tata Consultancy Services and ICICI Bank were among the gainers.

Stock Market highlights: Sensex slides 820 points to 78,675, Nifty settles 257 points lower at 23,883

Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices: The benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty, which traded on a weak note on Tuesday, settled 1 per cent lower for the day. Sensex closed at 78,675.18, lower by 820.97 points or 1.03 per cent, and Nifty 50 ended at 23,883.45, down by 257.85 points or 1.07 per cent. Barring the Nifty IT and Realty indices, all the sectoral indices are in red and led by bank stocks. As the Q2 earnings season concludes, analysts anticipate fund flows influencing market direction amid ongoing volatility. Gaurav Garg of Lemonn Markets Desk suggests that traders adopt hedged strategies focusing on selective stocks. Large-cap stocks are expected to perform relatively better as valuation pressures mount on the broader market. DSP Mutual Fund highlighted that mid-cap and small-cap indices have reached peak valuations, while large-cap stocks show signs of outperformance. Continued foreign portfolio outflows add to market volatility, but Pantomath Group’s ‘Market Kaleidoscope’ report points to India’s infrastructure push and rising private investment as economic stabilisers. Globally, Asian markets opened mixed, with gains in China and Japan offset by weaker Taiwanese and Korean indices.
