Hello ,


Markets witnessed a volatile session on Thursday, swaying both ways as traders adjusted positions on monthly expiry. After reclaiming 24,900 levels during intraday trade, the Nifty failed to hold on and closed in the red amid profit-booking and weak broader sentiment.

📊 Investor Takeaway:
The session remained jittery as expiry-related volatility kept traders on edge. Despite initial recovery above 24,900, the Nifty couldn’t sustain gains amid selling in pharma, metals, and energy stocks. Defensive names like FMCG and select largecaps helped limit downside. Going forward, market focus will shift to global cues, macro data, and corporate commentary.
