Market Outlook Today
Commenting on the market outlook today, Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services said, "The market traded range-bound after touching a new high as higher-than-expected US inflation and anticipation of hawkish ECB policy meetings later today impacted investor sentiment. Concern over valuation and inflation trajectory due to increasing oil prices may navigate the market into a consolidation phase in the near-term."

S Ranganathan, Head of Research at LKP securities said, "Banks, Autos & Realty stocks helped Benchmark Indices close in the Green as we approached the festive season. Several stocks were seen buzzing around across sectors in the broader markets in today's trade with interested buying witnessed in Sugar stocks on reports of dip in production from Maharashtra on account of deficient rains. Positive Data Points across key metrics in August kept investors on their toes."
