Representative image

Benchmark indices recovered early losses and ended with marginal gains on June 14. At close, the Sensex was up 76.77 points or 0.15% at 52551.53, and the Nifty was up 12.50 points or 0.08% at 15811.90.

Adani group stocks lost 5-9 percent on reports pertaining to the freezing of three foreign funds by the National Securities Depository (NSDL) that own shares in four listed Adani firms.

But later in the day, the Adani group in its statement clarified that the Demat Account in which the foreign funds hold the shares of the company are not frozen.

"The Nifty has respected the 15700 level on a closing basis. Despite the crack in the first hours of trade, it has managed to claw back its losses and has closed well above the lows of the day. 15900-16000 continues to remain the next target for the index and as long as 15700 holds, traders have no reason to be concerned. A buy on dips is a prudent strategy to adopt at these levels of the market," said Manish Hathiramani, proprietary index trader and technical analyst, Deen Dayal Investments.

Among sectors, buying was seen in IT, energy and PSU banks, while metal, auto and banking names witnessed selling pressure. BSE Midcap and Smallcap ended in the red.

Tata Motors, Reliance Industries, Wipro, Divis Labs and Bajaj Finance were among the top gainers, while losers included Adani Ports, Coal India, Kotak Mahindra Bank, HDFC and Maruti Suzuki.

Nifty formed a small-bodied bullish candle on the daily scale with a long lower shadow indicating declines are being bought in the market.
