Indian equity markets ended mixed on Thursday after opening lower, supported by a pre-Budget rally and optimism around the India–European Union free trade agreement. Analysts say markets are expected to remain rangebound, with stock-specific action likely to dominate in the run-up to the Budget.
STATE OF THE MARKETS
- Tech View: The immediate resistance is placed at the 100-DMA near 25,600, and a decisive breakout above this level would confirm a short-term bottom.
- India VIX: India VIX, which is a measure of the fear in the markets, fell 1.1% to settle at 13.37 levels.
