Sensex Today ended August 14 on a comparatively flat note after a tumultuous trading session. With the approaching Independence Day holiday and the upcoming U.S.-Russian negotiations, investors maintained a noticeably cautious stance. Despite the day’s fluctuations, the broader market sentiment showed resilience, supported by positive domestic indicators such as cooling inflation and persistent hopes for a U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut.
However, technical indicators suggested a resistance point around 24,735 for the Nifty, with support observed near 24,548. Analysts anticipate range-bound movement in the near term, with global developments and macro cues expected to dictate the market’s trajectory.
