Indian equity markets staged a recovery on Monday, supported by softer-than-expected US jobs data and a moderation in crude oil prices, providing some relief to investors assessing the near-term interest rate outlook. The Nifty 50 ended the session at 22,555.75, up 133.80 points, or 0.60%.
Technically, the Nifty tested its broken weekly 200-SMA zone at 22,580-22,600 but closed below the band. A sustained move above this zone could extend the recovery towards 22,800, while rejection could keep 22,400 as the immediate support, according to Hariselvan Radhakrishnan, Founder & CEO of HST Wealth.
