Losses were led by HDFCBANK (-1.96%), ONGC (-1.65%), HDFCLIFE (-1.55%), TITAN (-1.33%), and M&M (-1.12%), which weighed on the index. Banking and financial stocks remained under pressure, with ICICIBANK (-0.31%), AXISBANK (-0.41%), and SBIN (-0.45%) ending lower.

The NIFTY 50 opened at 24,385.20, touched a low of 24,102.80, hit a high of 24,400.95, and closed at 24,196.75, down 34.55 points (-0.14%). The index witnessed an early surge on positive global cues and easing US–Iran concerns, along with softer crude oil prices. However, gains were short-lived as profit booking in banking and financial heavyweights dragged the index lower, to close marginally in the red after a volatile session. Notably, the NIFTY breached the 50-day EMA and managed to close at that level. The RSI is hovering near 60, indicating healthy momentum. Near-term support levels are at 23,673/23,349, and resistance levels are at 24,720/25,044.
