The equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty trimmed a part of their early losses on Thursday supported by value buying at lower levels and technical support near key levels.
However, markets turned green later in the day, with the Sensex trading at 74,284.97, up 301.79 points or 0.41 percent, at around 12:30 pm, while the Nifty was trading at 23,291.45, up 76.50 points or 0.33 percent.
Honasa Consumer gained 3 percent after multiple brokerages reiterated positive views following its investor day on Wednesday. ICICI bank was the top gainer in the benchmark Nifty50 index.
Key reasons behind market paring losses
1) Value buying: Buying interest emerged at lower levels after the initial decline, helping the benchmarks recover from the day's lows.
2) Technical Support: Vatsal Bhuva, Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, said the expected trading range for the Nifty is 23,000-23,550. He said 23,200 is the immediate support level, while the 23,000-23,100 zone is seen as positional support. The key resistance zone is placed at 23,450-23,550.
3) Firm global cues: Wall Street futures traded in the green, indicating a positive start to the US markets later in the day. US markets ended significantly lower on Wednesday.
4) India Vix eases: The fear gauge or the volatility index eased to 15.57 level. Today also happens to be Sensex expiry day.
