Top Gainers And Losers In Stock Market Today: Dalal Street Stuck on Ice for 4th Session, Only Looking for Catalyst. Indian markets continue to be what they are best at these days: doing absolutely nothing, just that with a great story arc.
Equities stayed in a tight range for the fourth straight day Wednesday, as traders wrestled with hope, caution and a considerable amount of confusion. So mood? Being pretty much held hostage by geopolitics and crude oil. US-Iran peace talk stalemate kept crude prices high and away from equity bulls, while a weak rupee had sentiment politely nervous through the day.
Yet benchmarks were still able to squeak up:
- Nifty 50: 23,659 (+0.17%)
- Sensex: 75,825 (+0.11%)
Markets showing a bit of personality elsewhere:
- Nifty Midcap 100: +0.49%
- Nifty Smallcap: +0.04%
Bottom line, no sell-off, no rally, just a market dancing around, awaiting the next headline to tell it what mood to adopt.

Dalal Street has successfully survived yet another "same but slightly green" day, range-bound, but with a few stars taking the show by storm. Capital goods, autos and energy names made the day, while the rest of the market was on "hold". Negative news on global oil and weak rupee ensured that the market stayed cautious, but not too gloomy. Markets are not going up or down, they are just postponing any decision and waiting for the news.
