How are the Markets Looking ?
Today, we’re witnessing an extraordinary moment in the market. The Nifty has soared to 21,456, a level beyond what anyone expected just a few weeks ago. We’ve come a long way from hovering around 18,000-19,000, shattering predictions with a current standing at 21,456. This surge in the market is accompanied by tremendous volumes, with both FIIs and domestic institutions actively buying.
