On Friday, the Sensex and the Nifty 50 ended Friday’s session flat dragged by selling in information technology (IT), bank, metal, and oil & gas stocks.
The benchmark indices started off Friday’s session with minor gains amid positive global cues. For the fifth consecutive session, the Nifty 50 touched a record high. Although the Nifty 50 in the early trade was fuelled by a rise in IT and bank stocks amid the global equity rally, it ended flat amid profit booking.
The 30-share BSE Sensex ended flat by 15.44 points lower or 0.02% at 73,142.80 level while the Nifty 50 closed at 22,212.70 level, down 4.75 points or 0.02%.

Analysts highlighted that despite volatility, last week was a dynamic one for the markets, with the Nifty 50 continuously rising and setting new records. The global rally that followed Nvidia’s impressive earnings release, which also improved confidence in the domestic market, had a significant impact on the upward momentum.
Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) were net buyers, bringing ₹3,500 crore into the market last week, while Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued to be net sellers, with an outflow of about ₹1,940 crore.
“Looking ahead, as we approach the February month Futures and Options (F&O) expiry alongside the MSCI rebalancing scheduled for Thursday, we anticipate heightened volatility. Several macroeconomic indicators from both domestic and global fronts will play crucial roles. In the US, GDP numbers and initial jobless claims will impact bond yields. Moreover, our own Q3 GDP figures slated for release on February 29th and monthly auto sales data on March 1st will be closely watched.
Besides institutional flows, factors such as the movement of the dollar index, US bond yields, and crude oil prices will also influence market dynamics,” explained Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd.

Share Market Tips For This Week
The index witnessed a resolute breakout from the past five week’s consolidation and recorded a fresh all-time high of 22,297. The consolidation breakout, supported by a faster pace of retracement (as the past four week’s decline got retraced in just a single week), coupled with buoyant global cues as US, Japan indices hit new highs, signifies the resumption of an uptrend that makes us reiterate our positive bias and expect Nifty 50 to head towards 22,700 in the coming week’s. We believe bouts of volatility from hereon owing to global development would offer incremental buying opportunities, said Dharmesh Shah, Assistant Vice President (AVP), ICICI Securities.
Thereby, dips should be capitalised to accumulate quality stocks as strong support is placed at 21,800, advised Shah.
The Bank Nifty has resolved out of four week’s base formation above 200 days EMA. We expect Bank Nifty to lead the next leg of the up move and head towards 47,500 in the coming weeks, wherein strong support is placed at 45,800 as it is 100 days EMA.
