JLR CEO Resigns | Tata Tech IPO | Top Buzzing Stocks Today

On Wednesday, Indian share markets reversed course as the session progressed and ended with marginal gains.

Yesterday benchmark indices opened lower following muted global cues amid blasts in Poland that local authorities said were caused by Russian-made missiles.

Markets were volatile, moving between gains and losses tracking global geopolitical uncertainty.

Benchmark index Nifty hit a new 52-week high yesterday while the Bank Nifty index followed.

At the closing bell on Wednesday, the BSE Sensex stood higher by 108 points (up 0.2%).

Meanwhile, the NSE Nifty closed higher by 6 points (up 0.1%).

Kotak Mahindra Bank, HUL, and TCS were among the top gainers.

Tata Steel, Bajaj twins, and NTPC, on the other hand, were among the top losers.

Broader markets erased early gains and settled lower. The BSE MidCap fell 0.7% while the BSE SmallCap index ended 0.3% lower.

Sectoral indices ended on a mixed note yesterday with stocks in the banking sector and capital goods sector witnessing most of the buying.

Meanwhile, silver prices for the latest contract on MCX were trading up by 1.8% at Rs 62,714 per kg.

At 7:20 AM today, the SGX Nifty was trading down by 50 points, or 0.3% lower at 18,430 levels.

Indian share markets are headed for a negative opening today following the trend on SGX Nifty.

In crypto markets, the top tokens somewhat recovered following the collapse of FTX exchange. The Bitcoin traded near US$ 17,000 mark while Ethereum traded near US$ 1,200 levels.

For a growing economy, sectors like power and telecom should be the pillars of growth.

Instead, in India, they became the pariahs for investors and policy makers alike.

Hence, it's difficult to imagine the fortunes of these sectors could turn around dramatically a decade later. So much so that power and telecom are now the most sought-after opportunities among policy makers and investors alike.

Power stocks assumed importance with digitisation and the electric vehicle revolution. In fact, a few power stocks have once again enjoyed irrational exuberance in the past year.

But telecom stocks are yet to find a place in the sun.

This could change in 2023.

Tune in to the video below to know why...

Top Buzzing Stocks Today

Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) will be among the top buzzing stocks today.
