Sensex, Nifty updates on November 11, 2024: Benchmark stock indices Sensex and Nifty closed flat in highly volatile trade on Monday as continuous FII selling, disappointing quarterly earnings and weak trends from Asian markets dented investor sentiment. After gyrating between highs and lows, benchmark Sensex eked out gains of 9.83 points or 0.01 per cent to settle at 79,496.15. The barometer gyrated 1,100.8 points between the day’s high of 80,102.14 and a low of 79,001.34. The NSE Nifty dipped marginally by 6.90 points or 0.03 per cent to 24,141.30. From the 30-share Sensex pack, Asian Paints tumbled over 8 per cent after the company on Saturday reported a 43.71 per cent decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 693.66 crore for the September quarter, impacted by soft-demand conditions, material price inflation and a decline in decorative and coatings business in the domestic market. Tata Steel, Bajaj Finance, Mahindra & Mahindra, JSW Steel, NTPC, Adani Ports, Bajaj Finserv and Larsen & Toubro were also among the laggards. However, Power Grid, HCL Technologies, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Tata Consultancy Services and ICICI Bank were among the gainers.

Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices LIVE: Gift Nifty indicates a likely 100-point gap-down opening for Nifty at 23,870 on Wednesday as global markets remain weak. Analysts cite concerns over an earnings slowdown and persistently high inflation; Jefferies India downgraded full-year earnings for 63% of the 121 large companies it covers due to economic slowing. India’s retail inflation surged to a 14-month high of 6.21% in October, with steep rises in food and metal prices potentially influencing the RBI’s December policy stance. A continued hold on rates seems likely, but analysts at AngelOne note a shallower rate-cut cycle ahead for India, mirroring the US trend. Options data signals resistance around 24,500 due to heavy call writing and support near 23,500, with a bearish put-call ratio drop to 0.52. India VIX rose to 14.60 (+2.40%), suggesting caution; however, lower volatility generally supports bullish sentiment, according to SAMCO’s Dhupesh Dhameja.
