Stock Market Live Updates 20 August 2024: Sensex, Nifty trade higher; Nifty IT index gains over 1%

Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices LIVE: Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, are on a steady rise on Tuesday. At 11.23 a.m., the BSE Sensex surged 432.66 points or 0.54% to trade at 80,857.34, while Nifty 50 rose 133.35 points or 0.54% to trade at 24,706. This positive trend is a result of strong stock-specific and sector rotation activities, which are expected to continue dominating the market. However, profit-taking at higher levels is also anticipated, which is a natural part of the market cycle.

All eyes are now on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s upcoming speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium. This speech is highly anticipated as it could provide critical insights into future interest rate policies. The market is eagerly waiting to see how Powell’s words will impact the market and whether it will bring any major shifts in the current trend.

From a technical standpoint, Nifty is showing signs of fatigue as it failed to close with gains on Monday. The daily RSI hovering around 45 indicates weakness and a move below the 50 DMA near 24,000 could push the index towards 23,800. However, this should not discourage investors as the market has been resilient and has bounced back from similar situations in the past. It is important to remember that the market moves in cycles and temporary dips are a part of the overall growth trajectory.

Another factor to keep in mind is the rise in India VIX, which indicates increased market volatility. While this may seem concerning, it is also a sign of a dynamic market that provides opportunities for investors to make profitable trades. With proper risk management and a long-term investment approach, investors can make the most of the current market conditions.

The overall sentiment in the market remains positive, with a strong focus on long-term growth. The recent policy changes and government initiatives have boosted investor confidence, leading to a surge in the stock market. The government’s efforts to revive the economy and attract foreign investments have also played a crucial role in driving the market.

It is also worth noting that the Indian market has outperformed its global counterparts in recent times. This is a testament to the strong fundamentals and potential for growth in the Indian economy. As the country continues to recover from the effects of the pandemic, the market is expected to witness a steady and sustainable growth in the coming months.

In conclusion, while there may be short-term challenges in the market, the overall outlook remains positive. The current trend in the Sensex and Nifty is a reflection of the resilience and strength of the Indian market. Investors should focus on the long-term and stay invested in quality stocks, while also keeping an eye on market trends and making informed decisions. With the right approach, the Indian stock market can provide lucrative opportunities for investors to grow their wealth.
