The Indian stock market ended April on a negative note, with the Nifty 50 index declining 0.73% to close at 24,000. This decline was influenced by a surge in crude oil prices and a weakening Indian rupee, contributing to a risk-off sentiment among investors. The Nifty 50 opened at 23,996.95 and experienced significant selling pressure, reaching an intraday low of 23,796.85 before recovering slightly. Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, highlighted immediate support levels at 23,750–23,800 and resistance at 24,200–24,250. The Bank Nifty also faced challenges, closing down 0.98% at 54,863.35. Bagadia recommends three stocks under ₹100: Central Bank of India (buy at ₹36.42, target ₹39), NMDC Steel (buy at ₹42.72, target ₹46.50), and Sagility (buy at ₹41.74, target ₹45). Investors are advised to consult certified experts before making investment decisions.
