Markets remained under pressure on Wednesday and ended lower amid weak global cues and persistent geopolitical concerns. Technically, the Nifty has slipped below the immediate support level of 24,000, and the close suggests the possibility of a retest of the 23,650–23,800 zone in the near term. On the upside, analysts say the 24,150–24,300 region is expected to act as stiff resistance on any rebound. Despite the weakness in the benchmark index, rotational buying across sectors continues to offer ample stock-specific trading opportunities.
In today's trade, shares of Infosys, IndusInd Bank, Eternal, Adani Green, Dr Reddy's among others will be in focus due to various news developments and first quarter results.
