Key Questions Answered

The Nifty index tested the 23,500 level on weekly expiry and continues to find support near last Friday's low of 23,286 and the 23,300 zone.

Crude oil prices slipped below the $100 mark during Tuesday's session, which spurred a brief market recovery before that recovery was sold into.

Investors were advised to watch Nifty Bank—which finished near the day's low while defending the 56,200 mark—along with individual shares such as Bharat Forge, Allied Blenders, and IRB Infra.
