Buy or sell stocks: India’s benchmark stock market indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, both closed lower after reaching new record highs in the early trading session on Friday. The domestic indices could not sustain the highs, as investors’ profit booking drove them to close lower. The day’s rally was fueled by metals and financial stocks, which are witnessing significant buying amid improving domestic and global indicators.
The Nifty 50 closed 0.14 per cent lower at 26,178.95 points, down from 26,216.05 in the previous session. The BSE Sensex closed 0.31 per cent lower at 85,571.85 points, compared to 85,836.12 points at Friday’s market close.

“The index would have the 25800 zone as the near-term important support which needs to be sustained to maintain the trend intact,” said the stock market expert.
“Bank Nifty after the decent rally has witnessed some consolidation near the 54,000 levels with near-term support maintained near 53,400 zone of the previous peak level and would need a decisive breach above 54,470 levels to continue with the uptrend,” said Parekh.
