On Thursday, India's equity markets experienced a notable rise, with the Nifty index climbing 277 points (1.2%) to close at 23,689.6 and the Sensex gaining 789.74 points (1.1%) to finish at 75,398.72. The surge was attributed to reports suggesting that the Indian government is considering a tax cut on foreign investments in Indian bonds, aimed at attracting more capital inflows. Analysts believe this move could bolster the rupee, which has been under pressure. Foreign portfolio investors were net buyers of shares worth ₹187 crore, while domestic institutions purchased shares worth ₹684 crore. Despite the positive market movement, there were signs of weakness in the breadth of the market, with more stocks declining than advancing. The Nifty Midcap 150 index rose 1.2%, but small-cap stocks remained flat. Market analysts suggest that the Nifty has support levels between 23,200 and 23,400, with a significant resistance level at 23,800. A breakout above this level could push the index towards 24,200-24,400.
