Stock market today: Trade setup for Nifty 50 to Russia-Ukraine war; five stocks to buy or sell on Thursday — Nov 21 | Stock Market News

Stock Market Today: Markets, though volatile, got a breather on Tuesday. The benchmark Nifty-50 index and S&P BSE Sensex ended 0.28-0.31% higher at 23,518.50 and 23,518.50, respectively. Bank Nifty also ended 0.52% higher at 50,626.50. Key sectoral gainers included realty, auto, consumer durable, and pharma, though metal and energy ended in the red. Broader indices outperformed, closing with gains of nearly half a per cent each.

“The Indian stock market corrected in the late afternoon on fears of an escalation in hostilities between Russia and Russia that could spill over to Europe. Ukrainian armed forces carried out their first strike in a border region within Russian territory with an ATACMS missile, RBC Ukraine reported, citing an official in the nation’s military. This comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin on November 19 signed a revised nuclear doctrine declaring that a conventional attack on Russia by any nation supported by a nuclear power will be considered a joint attack on his country,” said Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research at HDFC Securities.

Trade Setup for Thursday

The technically correct pattern formed by Nifty indicates a lack of strength in the market to sustain a bounce. Nifty could form a higher low before embarking on a sustainable bounce. 23350-23815 could be the band for the Nifty over the near term, said Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research at HDFC Securities.

The Nifty Bank Index has closed just above the 50,600 hurdle, and holding above 50,600 could lead to further strength in Banknifty. On the downside, the 200-day exponential moving average (DEMA) is placed near 49,920, said Hrishikesh Yedve, AVP Technical and Derivatives Research at Asit C. Mehta Investment Intermediates Ltd.

Russia-Ukraine war

The Asian markets remained a mixed bag, while European markets remained weak. The Dollar Index has failed to cross 107 and crude oil has softened, which remains positive for the Indian Rupee.

Although the pace has slowed, FIIs have continued to be net sellers in November,adding pressure on the market. The State elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand will influence market sentiments on Thursday, the effect of which could be seen until the final outcome on November 23rd, said Siddhartha Khemka, Head—Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd. Khemka expects markets to remain volatile in the near term due to the renewed Russia-Ukraine war and the ongoing State Assembly elections.
