Can Nifty Extend Its Upmove After Back-To Back Gains? Insurance Stocks In Focus| Opening Bell Live
The Nifty 50 extended its rally for the second straight session on December 12, ending nearly 0.6% higher after a strong gap-up start. With Friday’s gains, the index climbed above short-term moving averages, reclaiming the key 25,950–26,000 zone — crucial for sustaining its upward momentum. Experts say holding above these levels could pave the way for a move toward 26,200–26,300, while a decisive fall below could trigger consolidation, with support at 25,750–25,700. The GIFT Nifty is indicating a weak start today, with global cues also subdued. Among stocks in focus: insurance names after the Cabinet cleared 100% FDI in the sector, along with Dr. Reddy’s and KEC International.
