Global markets are weak, Can Nifty sustain at this level?
Good Morning Everyone, Yesterday the Nifty closed flat at almost the same level as on Friday last week after a gap up opening and huge volatility as we approach the monthly derivative expiry. Billionaire Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries' shares scaled a record high on Monday, cementing the oil-to-telecom conglomerate's position as the country's most valuable company. With the gain in RIL shares, the group's market capitalisation touched the Rs 17 lakh crore mark for the first time ever, just days after reaching the Rs 16 lakh crore mark.
