D-St set for a positive opening as GIFT Nifty signals firm start

Indian benchmark indices saw volatile trading influenced by the weekly Sensex expiry. Nifty formed an inverted hammer candle, signaling consolidation within the previous session's range. Analysts suggest Nifty holding above 23,800 will lead to consolidation between 23,800 and 24,350. Foreign portfolio investors net sold shares worth Rs 533 crore on Thursday. Domestic institutional investors, however, were net buyers, adding Rs 2,058 crore.
