Equities opened with marginal gains on Thursday amid weak cues from overseas shores. But the star performer was Bharti Airtel which attracted buyer interest after talks with MTN Group collapsed.
Bombay Stock Exchange’s Sensex was trading at 17188, higher by 61 points while National Stock Exchange’s Nifty climbed 5.6 points to 5089.
“Nifty has strong support at 5,010-4,980 levels and resistance is placed at 5,150. Technically we see this current momentum heading towards the 5,210/17,550 levels shortly from where we could witness some decent profit taking happening.
Capital Goods and Oil & gas sector is currently showing strong relative strength and we believe that these could outperform in coming days,” said Nirmal Bang Securities in a note.
US stocks fell on Wednesday after a surprising contraction in an index of Midwest business activity, but buying of technology bellwethers like Cisco Systems Inc at the end of a strong quarter limited losses.
