Similarly, the Nifty 50 began at 23,283.75, in contrast to its previous close of 23,259.20, and reached an intraday high of 23,389.45. Ultimately, the index closed 6 points, or 0.02 per cent, higher at 23,264.85.

“Nifty ended flat at 23,264 levels despite staying positive most of the day. The broader market, on the other hand, ended with gains of 0.6%-0.8%. Sectorally, it was a mixed bag with oil & gas and realty gaining more than 1%. India's VIX cooled by 10%, closing at a one-month low below the 16 level, attributed to a reduced political overhang. Overall, investors' confidence got a boost after the key cabinet portfolios were retained with the BJP, leading to notable activity in PSU stocks. However, given the absence of any fresh trigger, the market seems to be in consolidation mode. Globally, investors are cautiously awaiting US CPI data and US Fed policy outcome, which will be released tomorrow. US Fed commentary could provide direction to the market. So far, investors are baking in one rate cut towards the end of the year, so any deviation from that could drive the market on either side,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head - of retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.
