On Tuesday, domestic stock markets showed resilience, with the Nifty 50 rising 11.30 points (0.05%) to close at 24,364.85. The gains were primarily driven by heavyweights State Bank of India and ICICI Bank, which played a significant role in the benchmark indices' performance. Despite this, analysts caution that the Nifty faces resistance at 24,500, and a failure to surpass this level may raise doubts about the current rally. Support is noted at 24,270. Meanwhile, the volatility gauge India VIX increased by 9.21% to 18.79, reflecting market uncertainties. In the US, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq retreated from record highs due to renewed tensions with Iran, impacting investor sentiment.
